SUMMARY:Remembering Charles Bukowski
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Charles Bukowski\nSunday\, August 20\, 2023 @ 2pm ET\nVirtual on Zoom\, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkceurrzsvGtLKg_bv0IY358lkec-u3qU2 \nSubmissions are open until August 13th at midnight. Send us a poem here. \nA reading from our Remembering anthology series. List of featured poets to be announced. \nCharles Bukowski (August 16\, 1920 – March 9\, 1994) was a prolific underground writer who used his poetry and prose to depict the depravity of urban life and the downtrodden in American society. A cult hero\, Bukowski relied on experience\, emotion\, and imagination in his work\, using direct language and violent and sexual imagery.  Bukowski’s work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans\, the act of writing\, alcohol\, relationships with women\, and the drudgery of work. The FBI kept a file on him as a result of his column Notes of a Dirty Old Man in the LA underground newspaper Open City. Bukowski published extensively in small literary magazines and with small presses beginning in the early 1940s and continuing on through the early 1990s. He wrote thousands of poems\, hundreds of short stories and six novels\, eventually publishing over sixty books during the course of his career. Some of these works include Burning in Water\, Drowning in Flame. Join us as poets continue the tradition.

SUMMARY:Poetry From the Ukraine: Live Reading
DESCRIPTION:Poetry from the Ukraine: Live Poetry Reading\nWednesday\, August 9 @ 7pm ET \nFeaturing: David Acosta\, Sibelan Forrester\, Sean Hanrahan\, Olga Livshin\, Lynn Levin\, and Warren C. Longmire \nLive at Fergies Pub – 1214 Sansom Street \nAnd on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrfuuoqjgjGNM2meg9Y-c3Zh8hI-tcRU5M \nMoonstone is selling book bundles for the featured Ukrainian poets on our website. All profits will be donated to Ukraine TrustChain. Books are sold online and at the event. \nToday is a Different War by Lyudmyla Khersonska \nTranslated by Olga Livshin\, Andrew Janco\, Maya Chhabra\, and Lev Fridman – $18.00\, Arrowsmith Press – A portrayal of life from inside war-torn Ukraine. No other volume of poems captures the duality of fear and bravery\, anger and love\, despair and hope\, as well as the numbness and deep feeling of what it means to be Ukrainian in these unthinkable times. If you want to know what’s in the heart of the Ukrainian people\, look no further than this stunning volume of poems. Lyudmyla Khersonska is a poet and translator from Odesa\, Ukraine. She is the author of four poetry collections in Russian. Khersonska was recently included in the list\, “33 International Women Writers Who are Bold for Change.” Olga Livshin is the author of A Life Replaced: Poems with Translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman and her poems appear in various journals.   \n  \nIn the Hour of War: Poetry from Ukraine – Edited by Carolyn Forché & Ilya Kaminsky $22.00\, Arrowsmith – “… Indeed\, we have heard the barrage on the 6 o’clock news\, but now we engage the war’s most apt witnesses who command the human heart through images and rhythms of language. These poems written primarily in Ukrainian\, and then translated into English\, refuse to glorify gore\, but instead render reflection. Have we grown numb to body counts? Poets of the Ukraine deliver a reckoning\, and the souls of a people are laid bare. … Such surrealism bears not only blinding terror\, but also moments of natural beauty. … some fight even with their hands tied behind their backs.” -Yusef Komunyakaa\, Pulitzer Prize winning poet \n  \n“We act like children with our dead\,” Halyna Kruk writes as she struggles to come to terms with the horror unfolding around her: “confused\,/ as if none of us knew until now/ how easy it is to die.” In poem after devastating poem\, Kruk confronts what we would prefer not to see: “a person runs toward a bullet/ with a wooden shield and a warm heart…” Translated with the utmost of care by Amelia Glaser and Yulia Ilchuk\, A Crash Course in Molotov Cocktails is a guidebook to the emotional combat in Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Remembering Woody Guthrie
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Woody Guthrie\nA Moonstone Anthology Reading\nSunday\, July 30 @ 2pm ET \nRegister at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwtde2tqTwtEtUjpGY7ROT771gcvgkLZGrU \nIn celebration of our Remember Woody Guthrie anthology\, featuring over 25 poets writing for his memory. \nWoody Guthrie was an American singer-songwriter\, one of the most significant figures in American folk music whose work focused on themes of American socialism and anti-fascism. He has inspired generations both politically and musically with songs such as “This Land Is Your Land”\, written in response to the American exceptionalist song “God Bless America”. Woody’s empathy allowed him to insert himself into the stories of others\, and he shared those narratives through music\, prose\, and artwork. We feel his presence and see his influence when people everywhere speak out for those who need a voice and shine a light on injustice in our world. Join us as poets reflect Woody’s vision. \n  \n“Wherever little children are hungry and cry \nWherever people ain’t free \nWherever men are fightin’ for their rights \nThat’s where I’m a-gonna be\, Ma \nThat’s where I’m a-gonna be” \n(from Tom Joad by Woody Guthrie) \n  \nList of Featured Poets to be announced.

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.
