Meeting ID: 839 4481 8819, Passcode: 717435

Since 2006 Moonstone has had a party with 100 poets reading. This year is different. There will be no food, no gathering, no conversation. There will be a book and a virtual reading. Be part of our tradition of a marathon of poetry with both famous and unknown poets.

 

Do you Love Poetry? Moonstone Arts Center’s Poetry Ink has includ-
ed a diverse selection of participants, from renowned Philadelphia poet Sonia Sanchez to Matilda Bray, a 14-year-old girl who published her first poetry book at age thirteen. From nationally known poets to un-
published poets, academic poets to street poets, the Poetry Ink Reading truly captures the diversity within Philadelphia’s literary community. We have featured poets such as Maya Angelou Amiri Baraka, Dennis
Brutus, Rita Dove, Lamont Steptoe and Eleanor Wilner to name just a
few. This will not be the 6 hour marathon, but probably about 3 hours.

Not all of the poets will be reading, but they are in the anthology:

Dee Allen, James Andrews, Sharisse Austin, Peter Baroth, Michele Belluomini, Byron Beynon, Pamela Blanding, Megan Brown, Charles S.
