SUMMARY:Philadelphia Says: Haiku
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Moonstone Arts Center & The Nick Virgilio Haiku Association \nat Fergie’s Pub\, 1214 Sansom Street \nSunday June 17\, 2018 – 2pm\nPhiladelphia Says Haiku\nCelebrating the release of  \nPhiladelphia Says Haiku\,\n an Anthology of Haiku by Philadelphia Area Poets\n ($10\, The Moonstone Press) with a reading by contributors. \nPhiladelphia is home to Sonia Sanchez\, who writes a Haiku every morning and worked with Mural Arts on the Peace is a Haiku song mural\, exploring haiku as a vehicle for peace and transformation. Sonia gives herself over with deep pleasure to the exacting beauty of haiku\, a form she has cherished her entire writing life. Their brevity seems built for speed\, but their lyricism and warmth inspire lingering\, savoring\, reading\, and rereading\, perhaps aloud. African-American novelist Richard Wright\, in his final years\, composed some 4\,000 haiku\, 817 of which are collected in the volume Haiku: This Other World. Wright hewed to a 5-7-5 syllabic structure for most of these pieces. In current English language haiku\, most successful poems have fewer than fourteen syllables. \n  \nThe Nick Virgilio Writers House opened in Camden on April 28\, 2018\, in honor of the city’s second best-known poet. Virgilio was one of America’s pre-eminent writers of haiku\, known for his prolific work in the traditional Japanese short-poetry format and admired for upsetting its stringent rules. The Nick Virgilio Haiku Association was founded in 1990 to keep alive Nick Virgilio’s artistic legacy and to promote literacy and self-expression among young people through all forms of writing\, especially haiku. \nMr. Virgilio is one of the acknowledged masters who in the 60’s\, 70’s and 80’s brought the delicate art of Japanese haiku into the English language. He died January 3\, l989\, while taping a segment of Nightwatch.  At that time\, according to Cor van den Heuvel\, a Newsweek poetry editor and author of The Haiku Anthology\, Virgilio “…. was on the verge of becoming American haiku’s first celebrity.” \nA haiku in English is a very short poem\, following to a greater or lesser extent the form and style of the Japanese haiku. A typical haiku is a three-line observation about a fleeting moment involving nature.

SUMMARY:A Shadow on Our Hearts: Solider-Poetry\, Morality\, and the American War in Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:The American War in Vietnam was one of the most morally contentious events of the twentieth century\, and it produced an extraordinary outpouring of poetry. Yet the complex ethical terrain of the conflict is remarkably underexplored\, and the prodigious poetic voice of its American participants remains largely unheard. In A Shadow on Our Hearts\, Adam Gilbert rectifies these oversights by utilizing the vast body of soldier-poetry to examine the war’s core moral issues. \n“This is the real deal – the big book on soldier-poetry of the Vietnam War that we have waited a half a century to get written.” – Phillip Beidler\, author of American Literature and the Experience of Vietnam \nFive veterans who lived through the war will be doing readings of their contributions to A Shadow on Our Hearts. From  firsthand experiences\, these pieces reflect on what it meant to be witnesses\, victims\, and perpetrators of the war’s violence. \n
