SUMMARY:Moonstone Poetry @ PhillyCAm - Sanctuary Poets Part II
DESCRIPTION:2017 Philly Loves Poetry Interview and Readings Series on PhillyCAM \nRegarding Poetry in Philly someone wrote: “If Philadelphia and environs were a garden of poetry\, it would be quite a garden. It’d be huge. This is a poetry town which is lush and fertile.” There are there are over 50 organizations that promote poetry in the Philadelphia area-poetry readings\, workshops; special events\, as well as publish poetry journals and books of poems. They represent every poetry form\, every ethnic background\, every age\, gender and community. This series consists of a panel of guest poets and artists that discuss the opportunities which their group or organization provides for poetry and poets in Philly. The program also focuses on the wide variety of themes and issues which influence the creation of poetry in Philly. The program is broadcasted live on the first Tuesday of each month. The program is free and open to everyone. Please join us in the studio for this live broadcast. \nTuesday July 11\, 2017 -6:30pm – Sanctuary Poets Part 2 \nThis workshop explored questions of belonging\, safety and identity for (im)migrants in the aftermath of election 2016 and the resurgence of racist\, misogynist\, and xenophobic forces in the United States.
