SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Banned Books Week

Register Here: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpdu6srTkjG9CKizvvMoFK92ycgaYP0pOg \n  \nBanned Books Week is an annual awareness campaign promoted by the American Library Association and Amnesty International\, that celebrates the freedom to read\, draws attention to banned and challenged books\, and highlights persecuted individuals. Held during the last week of September since 1982\, the United States campaign “stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them” and the requirement to keep material publicly available so that people can develop their own conclusions and opinions. The international campaign notes individuals “persecuted because of the writings that they produce\, circulate or read.” Join us as poets read their work about censorship or in praise of their favorite banned book. \n  \n  \n  \n

The possibility of nuclear war is no longer a distant memory\, but now a contemporary issue. As we mark the anniversary of Hiroshima send us a poem honoring the of victims and/ or examining the impact of these events. \n  \nHiroshima Day acknowledges the devastation of nuclear war on an international scale\, but also serves as a reminder of the repercussions of racism and racist policies. We are all complicit and we are all responsible for dismantling the systems of oppression and violence that led to this tragedy\, as well as the ongoing and horrific legacy of anti-Asian racism in the United States. Yuri Kochiyama\, the revolutionary activist\, once said: “We are all part of one another.” Poetry is one small yet mighty way that we can not only develop compassion\, but hold space for processing grief and trauma in the aftermath of this anniversary. \n  \nJoin us as contributors to this anthology read their poems \nProfits from the sale of the book will go to Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia

He was the first to rise to a height from which he could take a perspective view of his own race. He was the first to see objectively its humor\, its superstitions\, its short-comings; the first to feel sympathetically its heart-wounds\, its yearnings\, its aspirations\, and to voice them all in a purely literary form.”—James Weldon Johnson \nReadings by contributors to the Moonstone anthology

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: New Voices Spring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: New Voices Spring 2022\nSaturday May 21\, 2022– 2pm EST \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcuitqTooGdwfpzt7nCg8xrIqo7F7spOJ \n  \nNew Voices: Philadelphia’s Emerging Poets is a program designed for emerging poets under the age of 25. It aims to create a platform for younger poets by welcoming them into the larger Philadelphia poetry community and giving them the opportunity to share their work with a wider audience. \nUs humans tend to narrow our audience and present to others in our schools or poetry groups. Moonstone’s objective is to expand your audience\, introduce you to others who share your interest in poetry but live in different communities and go to different schools. Each month we present three poets from different communities followed by an open reading. We are still virtual on zoom. In addition to monthly readings we publish a New Voices anthology twice a year\, once in spring and once in fall\, and have a reading from the anthology. This is an on-going project so please send us your poems. \n

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:Virtual Poetry Event: International Worker's Day
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Event: International Worker’s Day\nSunday May 1\, 2022 – 2 pm -VIRTUAL – International Workers’ Day (Labor Day\, May 1) \nRegistration Required – use this link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtf–qrT0pGtX7GFWtGu2R5kGRSju8bauy \n  \nInternational Workers’ Day\, also known as Labor Day in most countries and often referred to as May Day\, is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement and occurs every year on May Day (1 May). Though it’s celebrated internationally\, Labor Day originated in the United States and has its roots in the rise of trade unions in 19th century Chicago\, their hard-fought battle for workers’ rights\, and the fight for the eight-hour workday. International Workers’ Day was officially recognized in 1889 at the first International Socialist Congress in Paris to commemorate the Haymarket Affair—a bloody confrontation between striking union workers and Chicago police in 1886.
