SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Banned Books Week
DESCRIPTION:Moonstone Poetry Reading: Banned Books Week\n\nSunday September 18 @ 2 PM EDT — VIRTUAL \n\nRegistration is Required. 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
