SUMMARY:Virtual Reading: Remembering Dylan Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Reading: Remembering Dylan Thomas\nSunday October 27\, 2024 – 2pm EST – VIRTUAL \nRegister for Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpdu6hqDMsGdZRzlthm1ZEK-xUGy30g20b  \nRemembering Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) \nDylan Marlais Thomas (27 October 1914 – 9 November 1953) was a Welsh poet and writer whose works include the poems “Do not go gentle into that good night” and “And death shall have no dominion”\, as well as the “play for voices” Under Milk Wood. He also wrote stories and radio broadcasts such as A Child’s Christmas in Wales and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. He became widely popular in his lifetime and remained so after his death at the age of 39 in New York City. By then\, he had acquired a reputation\, which he had encouraged\, as a “roistering\, drunken and doomed poet”.  \nPoets will be reading their work from our latest anthology honoring Dylan Thomas’s legacy.

SUMMARY:Live Poetry: William Hazard & Ari Villeda-Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Moonstone Poetry \nWednesday October 30\, 2024 – 7pm  \nLive at Fergie’s Pub\,1214 Sansom Street and on zoom \nUse this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYlceyhrj4uGdcKVBmb7dFEdUot8n6Ea8AL \n William Hazard makes poems with computers. Recent work can be found in Voicemail Poems\, Bring a Blanket Zine\, Ghost Proposal\, Beloved Radio\, Audio Flare Gun\, and on GitHub. He teaches at Temple University. He hangs out at llllllll.co \n  \nA Latinx poet\, educator\, and general transgender menace\, Ari Villeda-Martinez (she/they) is a performer and artist who thrives in the seemingly liminal space between the seat and the stage. She is a maker most interested in how an audience creates their own tether to a spoken narrative and can breach the wall to the page.  Her work is intimate\, precise\, and at its best\, devours. \n  \n  \nAaron Gadbury & Lindsay Hargarve Hosts – Open Reading Follows
