Presented by Bloomington Poetry Slam Pretend It's a Boat, The Motorcycle Tour

Veteran authors and performers Derrick C. Brown and Amber Tamblyn are reuniting this spring for a limited run of their infamous literary performance show, which they toured nationally between 2008-2015 via motorcycle.

PRETEND IT’S A BOAT combines sharply funny and heart-wrenching poetry, comedy, and wild interactions with the audience to create a truly inspired, one-of- a-kind show. Brown and Tamblyn have toured together for two decades, turning their signature style of darkly humorous and heart-jolting poetry and verse into provocative, energized and unpredictable performances for the stage.

Brown and Tamblyn will be touring between May 16th – 25th all around the South, Midwest, and North East, traveling by motorcycle as they have done in previous years. They will be cold and could use your warmth.
