Registration Required– Register Here: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcofuutpz4tHtylEA7Zoqzz0WYEMBrGcYS0 \nThe Elephant’s Mouth\, Luke’s Debut Poetry Collection\, Years in the Making\n“Luke Stromberg is an autobiographical poet\, but instead of being confined to the past\, his best narratives deliver enough metaphoric lift to transmute them into poetry.  I’m remembering his shadow being “a movie on the wall;” tombstones as “baby teeth;” and days that “pile up like dishes in the sink.” The Elephant’s Mouth is a noteworthy debut.”  —Billy Collins (Former U.S. Poet Laureate and New York Times bestselling) \n  \nLuke Stromberg’s poetry has appeared in Smartish Pace\, The Hopkins Review\, The New Criterion\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, Think Journal\, ONE ART\, Cleaver\, Philadelphia Stories\, and elsewhere. He also serves as the Associate Poetry Editor for E-Verse Radio. For many years\, he was involved in organizing the West Chester University Poetry Conference\, which is now the West Chester University Poetry and Creative Arts Festival. He works as an adjunct English instructor at Eastern University and St. Joseph’s University. \nWITH: \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				John Wall Barger\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Luke Bauerlein\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Ernest Hilbert\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Z Murphy\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Anne-Adele Wight\n				\n		\n\nJohn Wall Barger’s poems and critical writing have appeared in American Poetry Review\, Kenyon Review Online\, ZYZZYVA\, The Cincinnati Review\, Poetry Ireland Review\, and Best of the Best Canadian Poetry. His sixth book of poems\, Smog Mother\, just came out. He is a contract editor for Frontenac House\, and teaches in the BFA Program for Creative Writing at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Luke Bauerlein grew up in SE PA and first met Luke Stromberg in an undergraduate poetry workshop at West Chester University. He co-founded the now extinct rock n roll band\, The Late Greats\, and his poems and essays have appeared in the NY Times\, Rattle\, BODY\, Unsplendid\, and elsewhere. Ernest Hilbert is the author of four collections of poetry\, Sixty Sonnets\, All of You on the Good Earth\, Caligulan\, winner of the Poets’ Prize\, and Last One Out . His fifth book\, Storm Swimmer\, was selected by Rowan Ricardo Phillips as winner of the 2022 Vassar Miller Prize and will appear in 2023. Z Murphy (she/they) is a multiracial multidisciplinary artist studying creative writing at the University of the Arts. Since she was little\, she’s valued the art of storytelling and proceeds to tell stories in whatever way she sees fit\, whether it be through writing\, performance\, song – Z remains constantly inspired to make new art. Z writes about race\, sex\, class\, mental health\, and about writing itself (how meta of them). She is currently a writer for the online magazine Nicki Swift\, a dog dad\, and a retired child. Anne-Adele Wight is the author of An Internet of Containment\, The Age of Greenhouses\, Opera House Arterial\, and Sidestep Catapult\, all from BlazeVOX. For four years she curated the multi-genre performance series Jubilant Thicket.
