Poetry and Humor

With Eileen D’Angelo  & James Feichthaler

Eileen D’Angelo, a paralegal by day and a mad poet at night, has been nominated for a Pennsylvania Governor’s Award in the Arts and was nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses. Eileen has been the Director of the Mad Poets Society since 1987 and has coordinated over 1,500 special events, including poetry readings, ongoing monthly series, competitions, workshops, festivals, conferences, student events and more, approximately 70 to 80 poetry readings per year since 1990.  She has served as Editor of the Mad Poets Review since the first issue in 1990, and was a Contributing Editor for the literary journal, HELLAS, A Journal of Arts and Humanities.

James Feichthaler’s poetry has appeared in print and online journals in both the US and UK. His poems are truthful odes to his imagination, which he calls “the lunatic disciple of his existence.” The self-proclaimed “forrealist poet” is the host of an open mic reading series called The Dead Bards of Philadelphia, which is held on the 4th Thursday of every month at the Venice Island Performing Arts Center in Manayunk, PA.  You can follow James’s poetic exploits on Twitter at @forrealist_poet and keep up with the The Dead Bards of Philadelphia on Facebook and Instagram
