SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: International Workers' Day Anthology
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82855093815?pwd=Ryt0RzBqMmoyYWxJU3Q1YmJ2dnZmdz09 \nMeeting ID: 828 5509 3815 – Passcode: 838862 \nVirtual Poetry Reading: International Workers’ Day Anthology \n \nMay 1st is International Workers’ Day\, a time of celebration and opposition throughout the world\, except in the United States where it began. May Day commemorates the May 1st\, 1886 nationwide protest for the eight-hour day and the following “Haymarket Affair\,” a pivotal event in the history of workers’ and anarchist movements in which four labor organizers were hanged by the State in Chicago. May Day is also the ancient celebration of Spring and rebirth – the traditional time for planting new seeds in old ground. \nPoets have long reflected on work. What is it to you? Is it a burden\, a salve\, a joy? \nDonald Hall wrote a wonderful memoir called Life Work\, not what you do for money but what you do with your life. The Poetry Foundation has a terrific article\, Work Poems – Poetry about looking for jobs and working for a living. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/69799/work-poems. \nRead What Work Is by Philip Levine; Brass Spittoons by Langston Hughes; Shirt by Robert Pinsky. \nWe asked poets to send us a poem on work for a Moonstone anthology. \nJoin us as we celebrate International Workers Day with poetry and bring a poem. \nContributors (Not all will be reading): \nMichele Belluomini \nMiriam Ben-Yoseph \nByron Beynon \nSarah Bowden \nMatilda Bray \nR. Bremner \nGrace Cavalieri \nTerence Culleton \nSteven Davison \nTerry Dugan \nChristine Ferrari \nStrickland \nMaria Gillan \nlinda goss \nBeejay Grob \nSteven Halpern \nBarbara Hobbie \nJoan Huffman \njack israel \nIrving Jones \nChris Kaiser \nMichael Levin \nKaren Mandell \nEmily Rose Miller \nLiz Minette \nDennis Moritz \nAnthony Palma \nJohn Polier \nDavid Radavich \nEsther Ramos \njoe roarty \nGeorge Schaefer \nJennifer Schneider \nBob Small \nSarah Trembath \nKelley White \nSamantha Wright

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Nonsense Verse Anthology
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84532069956?pwd=c2VzQWMrWnN6a3oxR3ZvaVVEWS93UT09 \nMeeting ID: 845 3206 9956 – Passcode: 704102 \nVirtual Poetry Reading: Nonsense Verse Anthology \nNonsense Verse\, a perfect way to look at today’s world. \nIt is intentionally and overtly paradoxical\, silly\, witty\, establishing a new reality separate from this one. Creative use of distortion\, fantasy\, surrealism\, the impossible\, opposites\, made-up language form tensions between illusion and truth\, dreams\, and logic\, meant to test the meaning of language itself. All of us love language\, what it says\, what it doesn’t say\, how can we get to the essence of the story we want to tell. Sometimes you need to go so deep that you come out the other side.  From ‘Jabberwocky’ to ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ nonsense verse is not just for children. These poems can appeal to all age groups in their outlandish settings\, invented words\, and otherworldly characters. Personification\, song\, consistent rhyme schemes and metrical patterns\, as well as aspects of storytelling\, are all part of this genre of poetry. Lewis Carrol\, Edward Lear\, Spike Milligan\, Mervyn Peake\, Shel Silverstein\, A.A. Milne\, Ogden Nash. Moonstone celebrates Edward Lear’s birthday (May 12\, 1812) with an anthology of Nonsense Poems written by poets today. Moonstone’s Nonsense Anthology ($10.00). \nJoin us as poets read their Nonsense Verse and bring your own.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: The American War Against Herself Anthology
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84532069956?pwd=c2VzQWMrWnN6a3oxR3ZvaVVEWS93UT09 \nMeeting ID: 845 3206 9956 – Passcode: 704102 \nVirtual Poetry Reading: The American War Against Herself Anthology \nPoems about guns\, violence\, and the wars within America for Memorial Day May 31 \nMemorial Day\, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known\, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict\, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars\, including World War II\, The Vietnam War\, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The current trend of gun violence brings the violence of war to America itself \n“We have had more people die due to gun violence in my lifetime than every single war in this country combined from the Revolutionary War until now.” – Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.)\, September 12\, 2020 \nLet us also commemorate those who died in American wars against herself. \nNot all of the poets will be reading. But they will be in the anthology! \nJerome Berglund\, Norma Bernstock\, R. Bremner\, Grace Cavalieri\, Cathleen Cohen\, Josh Crummer\, Craig Czury\, Cole Eubanks\, Stuart Forrest\, Bryan Franco\, John Gallagher\, Dean Gessie\, Linda Goss\, Luray Gross\, Sean Hanrahan\, Anne Harding Woodworth\, Huntley Hardison\, Maurice Henderson\, Irving Jones\, Carolyn June-Jackson\, Chris Kaiser\, Michael Levin\, Lewis Maltby\, Sara Marron\, Norman Marshall\, Joyce Meyers\, David Mook\, Ruth Mota\, Leonard Neufeldt\, WunKuen Ng\, Elijah Pryor\, David Radavich\, James Redfern\, George Schaefer\, Fereshteh Sholevar\, Patrick Walsh\, Richard Westly\, Samantha Wright \n  \n  \n
