Join us in celebrating the work of five wonderful poets as the Moonstone Press releases their books: Herman Beavers is a Professor of English and African Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and serves as an advisory editor for The African American Review, The Black Scholar, The Journal of Black Studies, and Modern Fiction Studies. Steve Burke is the author of After The Harvest, published by Moonstone Press, and has read at many venues in and around Philadelphia. Jim Cory’s poetry and stories have appeared in many publications. He has published seven chapbooks and been a recipient of fellowships from the Pennsylvania Arts Council and Yaddo. Alfred Encarnacion’s poems, short stories, essays and reviews have appeared in national journals. His poetry has twice been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Stella Guillory moved to Washougal, Washington six years ago from Honolulu, Hawaii. Her poetry has appeared in Bamboo Ridge: The Hawaii Writers’ Quarterly, and Sister Stew: Fiction and Poetry by Women. Each author will read from their book. Larry Robin, Host
