Gerald Stern called his work “heart-breaking” and “necessary\,” while William Stafford has written\, “Louis McKee makes me think of how much fun it was to put your hand out a car window and make the air carry you into quick adventures and curlicues. He is so adept at turning all kinds of sudden glimpses into good patterns.” Naomi Shihab Nye says\, “Louis McKee is one of the truest hearts and voices in poetry we will ever be lucky to know.”

SUMMARY:Remembering Thomas Kinsella
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Thomas Kinsella\nSunday May 8\, 2022 – 2pm \nRegistration Required – use this link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZApf-GpqTwpE9QBzsJ92os8X53FdKo3E0zv \n  \nThomas Kinsella (4 May 1928 – 22 December 2021) was an Irish poet\, translator\, editor\, and publisher. \nHe began publishing poetry in the early 1950s and\, around the same time\, translated early Irish poetry into English. In the 1960s\, he moved to the United States to teach English at universities including Temple University\, where he started Temple’s Irish studies program. \nHis sensitive lyrics deal with primal aspects of the human experience\, often in a specifically Irish context. He began serving in the Irish civil service in 1946\, and in the early 1950s he met Liam Miller\, the founder of the Doleman Press\, which published much of Kinsella’s poetry beginning in 1952. In 1965 he left the Irish civil service and took a position as a writer in residence at Southern Illinois University in 1965 and at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1970. \nKinsella founded his own publishing company\, the Peppercanister Press\, in Dublin in 1972\, which allowed him to publish pamphlets and individual poems in limited editions without relying on submissions to journals or magazines. Kinsella’s first poem to be published through his press was Butcher’s Dozen about Bloody Sunday\, in which 13 demonstrators were killed by British troops in Londonderry (Derry)\, Northern Ireland\, and the ensuing tribunal. Numerous collections of Kinsella’s poems were released\, including Collected Poems\, 1956–2000)\, Selected Poems\, Fat Master\, and Late Poems; the latter was published by Carcanet Press\, which released several of his works in the early 21st century.

SUMMARY:Remembering Lili Bita
DESCRIPTION:Moonstone Poetry @ the Pub\nFergie’s Pub\, 1214 Sansom Street\nSunday May 20\, 2018\, 2pm\nRemembering Lili Bita\nLili Bita\, of Bala Cynwyd\, author\, actress\, and pianist\, died February 12\, 2018. An artist of international acclaim and a figure in Philadelphia cultural life for more than thirty years. \nBorn Angeliki Euterpe Bita in Zakynthos\, Greece but universally known as Lili\, she published the first of her twenty-one books of poetry\, fiction\, memoir\, and translation at the age of nineteen\, a work praised by the celebrated Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis for its “power and compassion.” Later admirers included Anais Nin\, who said in her preface to Lili’s verse collection\, Furies: “Her words are strong\, body and soul in balance. Her vision is direct\, unifying and complete.” Nin also noted Lili as “a full blossomed woman of beauty\,” a beauty equally evident within and without to all who knew her. \nLili received degrees from the Greek Conservatory of Music and the Athens School of Drama. She also held a Master of Arts Degree in drama\, summa cum laude\, from the University of Miami. She taught at Villanova among several American universities\, and was Artist in Residence and Cultural Affairs Coordinator at Drexel University. Lili began her stage career with leading roles from ancient drama\, Shakespeare\, Ibsen\, O’Neill\, and others. She emigrated to the United States in 1959 with her late son\, Philip Rethis. In America\, she toured with her one-woman shows\, “The Greek Woman Through the Ages\,” “Body Light\,” and “Freedom or Death\,” as well as adaptations from several of her books. With her husband and collaborator\, Robert Zaller\, she founded the Theater Cooperative in 1973\, which for nearly two decades was a fixture of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. She was for three decades the cultural affairs correspondent of the Hellenic News of America\, was a longtime member of the Greek Writers Association\, and in 2014 was inducted into the oldest and most prestigious literary organization in Greece\, the Hellenic Authors Society\, in recognition of her lifetime achievements as an author\, actress\, and cultural ambassador. Her local honors included a Leeway Foundation grant\, a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts award for fiction\, and the Amy Tritsch Needle and Gemini awards from Philadelphia Poets. \nAmong Lili’s score of books and half dozen plays\, her love poetry\, collected in Fleshfire\, is best known\, but she was also deeply imbued with a tragic sense of life that ran through much of her work in verse and fiction and in her two memoirs\, Sister of Darkness and The Storm Rider. Notwithstanding this\, she embraced life in all its dimensions.
