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.
