August 4th, the Brentwood theatre presents the Best of Contemporary American Poets Series, Volume 1, "The Drums Inside Your Chest"the first in a distinctive series of live performances showcasing the most exciting, innovative and moving poetry in America, today. Hosted by magician Rob Zabrecki, this one-time engagement features poets: Amber Tamblyn, Beau Sia, Bucky Sinister, Mindy Nettifee, Derrick Brown, Buddy Wakefield and Jeffrey McDaniel.

Gathered together from the diverse literary scene that has evolved out of Slam Poetry over the past 15 years, these poets are each unique in style and unforgettable in performance. "The Drums Inside Your Chest" provides a rare opportunity to see and hear them all together. It promises to be a spine-tingling, chest-wrenching, gut-busting and profoundly entertaining night – poetico-spiritual revival for the modern romantic and the urban cynic, alike.
