SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Poetry of Displacement with Fióna Bolger\, Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan\, and Divya Victor

While these poets share places\, both Fióna and Divya have lived in Tamil Nadu\, both Chandrika and Fióna live in Dublin\, and both Divya and Chandrika were born in India\, their writing emerges from displacement and cannot be easily situated in a national poetic tradition.” \n\n \nFióna Bolger \nFióna Bolger is author of a compound of words. She lives between Ireland and India. Her work has appeared in Poetry Ireland Review\, Southword\, The Brown Critique\, The Poetry Bus\, The Chattahoochee Review\, and others. She is a co-ordinator of Dublin Writers’ Forum and a member of the creative team of Outlandish Theatre Platform. She is currently working towards a PhD at Dublin City University entitled ‘Searching for Poems in the Cracks Between Borders’. Poems can be corralled into lists by country\, by language\, by form. Fióna Bolger is interested in those that fall between categories\, challenge the existence of formal\, linguistic\, cultural\, or geographic boundaries\, borders. \n  \n \nChandrika Narayanan-Mohan  \nChandrika Narayanan-Mohan (She/Her) is a Dublin-based arts manager\, writer\, and performer from India. Her work has been published in Writing Home: The ‘New Irish’ Poets from Dedalus Press\, The Ireland Chair of Poetry Hold Open the Door anthology by UCD Press\, the Green Carnations: 25 Young LGBTQ+ Poets from Ireland anthology by Book Hub Publishing\, Banshee\, Honest Ulsterman\, Impossible Archetype\, and Poetry Ireland Review. In 2020 Chandrika won 3rd place in the Fingal Poetry Prize. Chandrika is editor of Poetry Ireland’s Trumpet issue 9\, book reviewer for Children’s Books Ireland’s Inis magazine\, and one of Science Gallery Dublin’s current Rapid Residency Artists. In 2021 Chandrika joined the Board of the Irish Writers Centre. \n  \n \nDivya Victor \nDivya Victor is the author of Curb; Kith\, a book of verse\, prose memoir\, lyric essay\, and visual objects; Scheingleichheit: Drei Essays; Natural Subjects (Winner of the Bob Kaufman Award); Unsub\, Things To Do With Your Mouth. Her work has appeared in BOMB\, the New Museum’s The Animated Reader\, Crux: Journal of Conceptual Writing\, The Best American Experimental Writing\, POETRY\, and others. She has been translated into French\, German\, Spanish\, and Czech\, been a Mark Diamond Research Fellow at the U.S Holocaust Memorial Museum\, a Riverrun Fellow at the Archive for New Poetry at University of California San Diego\, and a Writer in Residence at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibit. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: "Free Speech:  And Why You Should Give a Damn" by Jonathan Zimmerman\, Signe Wilkinson (Illustrator)
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: “Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn” by Jonathan Zimmerman\, Signe Wilkinson (Illustrator)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87881707311?pwd=S0pHK2tnUkp4SzlmajNmV2hCUkFMQT09 \nMeeting ID: 878 8170 7311 – Passcode: 322627 \n Purchase This Title\n\n \nIn America\, we like to think we live in a land of liberty\, where everyone can say whatever they want. Throughout our history\, however\, we have also been quick to censor people who offend or frighten us. We talk a good game about freedom of speech\, then we turn around and deny it to others. In this brief but bracing book\, historian Jonathan Zimmerman and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson tell the story of free speech in America: who established it\, who has denounced it\, and who has risen to its defense. They also make the case for why we should care about it today when free speech is once again under attack. Across the political spectrum\, Americans have demanded the suppression of ideas and images that allegedly threaten our nation. But the biggest danger to America comes not from speech but from censorship\, which prevents us from freely governing ourselves. Free speech allows us to criticize our leaders. It lets us consume the art\, film\, and literature we prefer. And\, perhaps most importantly\, it allows minorities to challenge the oppression they suffer. While any of us are censored\, none of us are free. \nJonathan Zimmerman is the Judy and Howard Berkowitz Professor in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. A former Peace Corps volunteer\, he is the author of Campus Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know and seven other books. He is also a frequent op-ed contributor to The New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and other national newspapers and magazines. Zimmerman received the 2019 Open Inquiry Leadership Award from Heterodox Academy\, which promotes viewpoint diversity in higher education. \nSigne Wilkinson was the first female to receive the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1992. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic\, edited by Elayne Clift

We watched as the numbers of deaths mounted and agreed that it was the worst health crisis we’d experienced in a hundred years. What we longed for were stories about people lost to the insidious virus\, and those left behind. We wanted stories of survival\, coping\, finding our way to the future. In making much of the mundane\, 53 poets share 70 poems in the anthology A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic. The poems\, by diverse and award-winning writers\, capture and share the collective Covid. They reveal that we were brave in our contemplative journey. This anthology adds to the tradition of sharing stories in well-chosen words that move and enlighten us. \n  \nMichael Bosworth recently returned to writing poetry and creative nonfiction after a 45-year hiatus. He is on the board of the Brattleboro Commons newspaper in Vermont and an active member of WriteAction in Brattleboro. \n  \n  \nElayne Clift is an award-winning writer and journalist whose work appears in numerous publications and anthologies internationally.

Her prose and poetry collections include Not Erma Bombeck: Diary of a Feminist 70s Mother\, and The Discontinuity at the Waistline: My #MeToo Poems.

SUMMARY:Moonstone Poetry @ PhillyCAM: Mike Cohen and Connie on Poetry & Humor with Charles S. Carr
DESCRIPTION:2021 Philly Loves Poetry Interview and Readings Series: Charles S. Carr talks with Mike Cohen\, Writer\, and Connie\n\nWatch the live broadcast at Comcast Cable 66/966HD/967 | Verizon FIOS 29/30 in Philadelphia | PhillyCAM TV: https://phillycam.org/watch \nIn the beginning\, Mike Cohen started on his complete works\, which remain a work-in-progress. Along the way\, he discovered the wisdom of youth and its foolishness. He discovered the wisdom of age and its foolishness. He discovered young love and its foolishness. He discovered true love. He has meandered and stumbled and lurched and found no answers\, but many\, many satisfying ways to phrase the questions. Mike Cohen hosts Poetry Aloud and Alive at Philadelphia’s Big Blue Marble Book Store. His articles on sculpture regularly appear in the Schuylkill Valley Journal in which he is a contributing editor. \n  \n  \n  \nHis colleague in these endeavors is also his constant companion\, cohabitant\, cohort\, and confidante\, Connie\, who keeps Mike and his writing from going off-kilter.  Mike’s wry writing has appeared in the Mad Poets Review\, Fox Chase Review\, and other journals. His poetic presentations feature humor and drama against a philosophical backdrop. Mike likes to bring poetry and audiences to life in cafes\, libraries\, book stores and venues including Princeton’s Café Improv\, the Pen and Pencil Club\, the Hedgerow Theatre\, Fergie’s Pub\, Harlem’s Apollo Theater\, and neither least nor last\, Philadelphia’s Laurel Hill Cemetery. \n  \n  \nPeople often ask about a poet’s process. Connie is integral to my process. My first reader\, primary audience\, she gives me invaluable feedback and insight on the potential reaction to my writing. She took an interest in poetry for my benefit. She attends the Philadelphia Writers Conference\, she says\, so she can better help me with my poems. She writes sparingly\, but when I entered one of her poems in a contest at the conference\, Connie won first prize in poetry. Her poem was not a humorous one\, but poetry is a funny thing. \nCharles S. Carr\, Host
