SUMMARY:Moonstone Poetry at Fergie's Pub: Featuring Ona Gritz and Daniel Simpson
DESCRIPTION:Border Songs: A Conversation in Poems by Ona Gritz & Daniel Simpson ($14.99\, August 2017) \nThe poems in Border Songs offer more than a conversation between poets: they’re conversant\, knowledgeable\, informed by eros\, loss\, delight\, curiosity\, and intimate wisdom.

Many poems in Geode explore what it means to live gracefully with a disability. I love this book.” -Stephen Dunn \nDaniel Simpson is a recipient of a Fellowship in Literature from the PCA\, has published poems in “Prairie Schooner\,” “The Cortland Review\,” “Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review\,” “Passager\,” “Atlanta Review\,” among other literary journals. Cinco Puntos Press\, published his essay “Line Breaks the Way I See Them” and four of his poems in “Beauty Is A Verb: The New Poetry of Disability\,” a 2012 ALA Notable Poetry Book called “unusual and powerful” by “Publisher’s Weekly” in a starred review. An open mic will follow the featured readers.

SUMMARY:Publication Celebration of DREAMS and NIGHTMARES/ SUEÑOS y PESADILLAS by Liliana Velásquez
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Liliana Velásquez\, author of Dreams and Nightmares/ Sueños y Pesadillas\, a remarkable memoir by a teenager who at fourteen years old fled horrific violence and poverty in Guatemala and headed out alone for the United States. On her trip through Mexico\, she was robbed by narcos\, rode the boxcars of La Bestia\, and  \norganized thirty of her fellow Central American bus\npassengers to convince the Federales who had arrested them to allow them to continue on their way. Finally\, she made it to the US border and headed out across the Sonoran Desert\, where she encountered death and was caught by US Immigration. She spent a year in a horrendous foster situation and eventually landed on her feet with a family that loves and protects her. She is now in high school\, while she works to support her family back home and makes plans to go on to nursing school. Edited & Translated by Mark Lyons who met with Liliana over forty-five times.  \n$5 Parking at the corner of 7th and Ranstead Refreshments will be served
