DESCRIPTION:Moonstone Arts Center’s Poetry Reading\nWednesday May 10\, 2023 – 7pm\nLive at Fergie’s Pub – 1214 Sansom Street and on zoom – Registration Link \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAqduygpjMuHd0HPcfGrZY8yNfOp-0L4ixR \nCourtney LeBlanc is the author of the full length collections Her Whole Bright Life (winner of the Jack McCarthy Book Prize); Exquisite Bloody\, Beating Heart; and Beautiful & Full of Monsters. She loves nail polish\, tattoos and a soy latte each morning. Find her online at www.courtneyleblanc.com Her Whole Bright Life is a collection of poems that weave together the trauma and exhaustion of a life lived with disordered eating and the loss and grief of the death of the poet’s father. Love and hunger intertwine and become inseparable as the poet grapples to find\, and listen\, to both. With a distinct and feminist voice\, this collection delves into a life now lived without a beloved parent\, while trying to survive a pandemic\, and battling demons that have lived inside her for most of her life. With both fierceness and tenderness\, we see a woman trying to find her place within her own body and within an ever-changing world. This collection of poems is both an elegy and an anthem – praising both those who’ve been lost and those who remain. \n  \nLauren Ray is a Junior Creative writing major with an Art history minor at the University of the arts. She writes poetry and stories from the lens of the black woman experience. She is excited to share her work to an audience for the first time in a couple of years. \n  \nRuth Rouff is a freelance educational writer living in Collingswood\, NJ.

SUMMARY:Live Poetry Reading: Celebrating the Publication of 'Storm Swimmer'!

Tender poems of fatherhood weigh against unsettling explorations of natural dangers and intimations of bodily harm. From porn sets to seedy gun ranges and heavy metal tribute nights in crumbling theaters\, Hilbert’s eye roves over the desolation and beauty of contemporary America\, all the while feeling the irresistible pull of water—what Melville called “the ungraspable phantom of life.” \n“Ernest Hilbert’s Storm Swimmer is a gleaming cornucopia of dreams\, nightmares\, tenderness\, and grace. It is a book of great feeling and of great technical skill. Everything in it is sacrificed for poetry\, which is why everything in this beautiful book lives.”—Rowan Ricardo Phillips\, author of Heaven and judge \nCopies of the book will be available at a discounted rate of $10. Join us! \nErnest Hilbert is the author of Sixty Sonnets\, All of You on the Good Earth\, Caligulan\, and Last One Out. He lives in Philadelphia where he works as a rare book dealer. His poem “Mars Ultor” was included in Best American Poetry 2018\, and his poems appear in Yale Review\, American Poetry Review\, BOMB\, Harvard Review\, Parnassus\, Sewanee Review\, Hudson Review\, Boston Review\, The New Republic\, American Scholar\, and the London Review. \nGuest reader April Lindner is the author of Skin\, which received the Walt McDonald First Book Prize from Texas Tech University Press\, and This Bed Our Bodies Shaped. With Ryan Wilson\, she is co-editing an anthology of contemporary Catholic poetry for Paraclete Press\, and with R. S. Gwynn\, she co-edited Contemporary American Poetry in Longman’s Penguin Pocket Academics series. She has written three Young Adult novels\, and is a professor of English at Saint Joseph’s University\, she lives in Stockton\, New Jersey. \nGuest reader David Hale Sylvester chronicles his adventures and achievements in two books\, Traveling at the Speed of Life\, which appeared in 2011\, and One Hug at a Time: 99 Stories From the Man Who Embraced the World\, published in 2021. You can learn more about him at www.davidhalesylvester.com. \nHost John Wall Barger’s poems and critical writing have appeared in American Poetry Review\, Kenyon Review Online\, Poetry Ireland Review\, Best of the Best Canadian Poetry\, and many other journals and anthologies.

SUMMARY:Live Event: Anthony Cappo\, Maria James-Thiaw & Ann E. Michael

Registration Required — Register Here: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZctceCppz8iE9HhItlupBaoL-TCdkVXAuhL \n  \nAnthony Cappo\, author of When You’re Deep In A Thing and My Bedside Radio\, poems and other writings have appeared in THRUSH\, Prelude\, Entropy\, The Rumpus\, and other publications. “Cappo’s voice is intimate\, but the arc is visceral: ‘come with me and I will show you/fissures of men.’ His poems aren’t looking for alchemy\, only for what’s real\, this world in which a child might ‘endure/like an Arctic explorer.’ They are true\, meaning: wholehearted and ambivalent. Cappo won’t show you prefabricated emotions\, rather the contraries we wrestle as we try to conjure our destinies ‘under God’s random jackhammer.’ He charts an America of absent fathers and thrift shop hand grenades\, an era in which the line between common sense and paranoia is fading. When You’re Deep in a Thing isn’t just beautiful-it’s courageous and necessary.” – D. Nurkse  \nMaria James-Thiaw\, author of Count Each Breath\, is an award-winning poet\, performer\, and playwright. She is the author of four poetry collections and her work has been published in numerous journals and anthologies including Black Lives Have Always Mattered\, and Essential Voices: A Covid19 Anthology.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Remembering The Waste Land
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Event Remembering The Waste Land\n\nSunday December 11 @ 2PM — VIRTUAL\n\nRegistration Required. Register Here: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcudeGsqDwiHNGbIKB3XwIbDO4_P-84tFgv \n100th Anniversary of The Waste Land\n \nSeptember 26th marked T.S. Eliot’s 134th birthday \nEliot’s groundbreaking poem The Waste Land was published in 1922\, 100 years ago\n\nWritten in the wake of World War I\, a war which turned the battlefield into a waste land\, and wasted a generation of combatants and civilians — 20 million dead\, 21 million wounded — the poem might be read as a civilian’s post-traumatic stress\, or as ecological disaster\, or emotional devastation\, or spiritual drought. \n\nEliot’s style in the poem — fragmented\, allusive\, difficult\, obscure…\nwas startling at the time\, so much so that William Carlos Williams considered it a “great catastrophe” for American Poetry; and the notes Eliot appended have led many readers to think of the poem more as an exam than a lyric. Yet even as Eliot’s influence has faded\, even as we question his conservatism\, his attitudes toward race\, his uneasiness with women\, his personal demons\, The Waste Land continues to signify to our own waste land\, and many of us write under its shadow. \nMoonstone Invites You  \nto “come in under the shadow of this red rock” and speak to The Waste Land\, or within The Waste Land\, or after The Waste Land\, or against The Waste Land.  \nNathalie Anderson\, Host
