SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: New Voices - Emerging Poets\, Isabel Acosta\, David Jones\, Han Yang\, with Larry Robin
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82855093815?pwd=Ryt0RzBqMmoyYWxJU3Q1YmJ2dnZmdz09 \nMeeting ID: 828 5509 3815 – Passcode: 838862 \nVirtual Poetry Reading: New Voices – Emerging Poets\, Isabel Acosta\, David Jones\, and Han Yang \nNew Voices is a program designed for emerging poets under the age of 25. \nIsabel Acosta is a twenty-year-old aspiring poet who hopes to one day touch the hearts of many through her writing. After being born and raised in a small town in West Texas\, she currently resides in Pennsylvania where she is studying English and Communications at Rosemont College. Some of her favorite poems include “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman\, “A Glimpse” by Walt Whitman\, and “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe. From poems about love to social justice\, Acosta strives to show her audience that feeling emotion and wanting to be heard in the world is important. She states that even if her writing were to change one person’s life\, she knows that she achieved her goal. \nDavid Jones is a Philadelphia native\, and former Youth Poet Laureate for the City of Philadelphia (2015-16). His work has appeared in Undocumented: Great Lakes Poets Laureate on Social Justice published by Michigan State University Press. David loves mangoes and Hip-Hop. He writes with the intent to heal and believes that poetry is an art form that goes far beyond the written word. \n  \n  \n  \nHan Yang is a senior biology student at Haverford College who brings a refreshing take on poetry through her scientific background. Her poetry takes an experimental tone and is interwoven with bold imagery and lucid contemplations. Her experiences with English as a second language and as an outsider to the traditional world of poetry have both shaped and liberated her style. Her most recent work was published in Milkweed\, Haverford College’s literary magazine. Outside of poetry\, Han also enjoys writing personal reflection and other nonfiction pieces. \n  \nLarry Robin\, Host. Open Reading Follows.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: National Haiku Poetry Day Anthology
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82855093815?pwd=Ryt0RzBqMmoyYWxJU3Q1YmJ2dnZmdz09 \nMeeting ID: 828 5509 3815 – Passcode: 838862 \nVirtual Poetry Reading: National Haiku Poetry Day Anthology  \nObserved annually on April 17\, National Haiku Poetry Day encourages all to try their hand in creativity. Haiku poetry is a form of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and usually consists of 3 lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Usually\, an element of nature\, a season\, moment of beauty\, or an individual experience inspires haiku poems. Sensory language is used to capture a feeling\, image or moment. \nAs one of the world’s oldest and most regularly used forms of poetry\, many poets wrote many haiku. While the most well-known is Matsuo Basho\, others we may recognize are William Blake\, T.S. Eliot\, Richard Wright and Maya Angelou. Try capturing an entire moment or emotion in 17 syllables and getting it right. English haiku does not always follow the strict syllable count found in Japanese haiku \nJoin us as the contributors to Moonstone’s Haiku Poetry Day Anthology read their work. \nNot all contributors will be reading: \nFran Abrams \nCarolyn Adams \nSandra Anfang \nFran Baird \nSunday Banks \nEben Bein \nMiriam Ben-Yoseph \nWilleena Booker \nSam Boone \nElizabeth Boquet \nChris Bray \nMatilda Bray \nJill Bronfman \nGrace Cavalieri \nEulinda A. \nClarke-Akalanne \nJ.J.
