SUMMARY:Remembering Coltrane Book Release: Open Mic & Jazz Jam
DESCRIPTION:Monday October 26\, 2026 – 7pm – LIVE \nBlack Squirrel Club – 1045 Sarah St \nRemembering Coltrane Book Release: Poetry Open Mic and Jazz Jam \nJohn Coltrane began his illustrious career in the 1950’s with two high list associations:  Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. Coltrane played with Davis’s band until around 1960\, when he began to lead more dates as a band leader. In 1962\, Coltrane formed the classic ‘Coltrane Quartet’ consisting of McCoy Tyner (piano)\, Elvin Jones (drums)\, and Jimmy Garrison (bass). The conception of this group also coincides with Coltrane’s music taking on a more spiritual direction.  This group recorded some of Coltrane’s most famous and encompassing works. After the classic quartet disbanded\, Coltrane pushed further outwards\, testing the boundaries of improvised music. \nPlease join us as we celebrate John Coltrane’s 100 birthday in words and music

SUMMARY:New Books from Moonstone: Ken Been\, Susan Eyre Coppock\, Emma Goldman-Sherman\, Jack Israel\, & Valerie Lawson
DESCRIPTION:New Books From Moonstone Press\nSunday November 1\, 2026 – 2pm – VIRTUAL\nRegistration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/cdvV3UqSS8mAutLM6yGztg  \n  \nKen Been – Opposing Thumbs – $11.00 \n“In Opposing Thumbs\, we ride shotgun with Ken Been as he hitchhikes from Michigan west-southwest to California\, up to Canada and back home. This poetry collection transports readers to the early 1970s\, when the poet\, then a young adult\, explored the human landscape.” – -Erin Michaela Sweeny Inlandia Journal \nSusan Eyre Coppock – Bright Clatter – $11.00 \n“Not every trip down memory lane is a sweet one. The short\, carefully crafted poems in Susan Coppock’s Bright Clatter will evoke emotion and spark memory as she takes us through the fifties and sixties with references to Mr. Blue and Peter Pan collars\, Horn & Hardart and anti-war demonstrations.” -Anna Scotti\, author of Bewildered by All This Broken Sky \nEmma Goldman-Sherman – Dear Palestine – $11.00 \n“These stunning\, stark\, and unflinching poems are a gesture—a hand extended\, a promise kept—but above all\, a testimony. Reaching across continents and generations\, they offer softness and solidarity\, allowing readers to witness firsthand the steadfastness and strength of the Palestinian people. “Kelly Grace Thomas\, author of Boat Burned (YesYes Books) \nJack Israel – Luminaria of Disbelief – $11.00 \n“Upon encountering Jack Israel’s poetry\, one is quickly possessed by a truly original talent. Whether through a unique content\, voice\, or style\, his interpretations of the world are simultaneously surreal and quotidian\, often unexpected\, always new. Israel’s poems are of a rigorous intelligence\, an astute wit\, and finally\, thoughtful\, discrete musings on these times.”    –Alicia Askenase is the author of several books\, a founding co-editor of 6ix \nValerie Lawson – Work Makes Its Mark – $11.00  \n“Here is poet who loves by noticing and naming the “powerless people / whose real names were only known only to the stars” and who understands—with the physical\, hard-won knowledge of a rural poet—that to love a place is to mark and be marked by it…..”  – Julia Bouwsma\, Maine Poet Laureate  (2021-2026)
