Decatur Book Festival 2010

Every year Decatur, GA hosts the biggest independent book festival in the country, the AJC Decatur book festival. Here are a few pictures from this year's festival.
Free poetry on demand. Jimmy Lo (who can be found here) was nice enough to write a poem about Oglethorpe's mascot, the Stormy Petrel.

Really amazing street performers!
Spoken word at Java Monkey. You can't see it in the picture, but the host is wearing a t-shirt with Franz Kafka's The Trial as the design. He told me that he purchased it in Kafka's hometown of Prague.

This is Jimmy Lo's poem about Petrels. I thought it was awfully clever way to talk about the oil spill which was still going on at the time.
 Poetry goes well with pretty leaves, don't you think?
