SUMMARY:Moonstone Poetry at Fergie's Pub: Featuring Ona Gritz and Daniel Simpson
DESCRIPTION:Border Songs: A Conversation in Poems by Ona Gritz & Daniel Simpson ($14.99\, August 2017) \nThe poems in Border Songs offer more than a conversation between poets: they’re conversant\, knowledgeable\, informed by eros\, loss\, delight\, curiosity\, and intimate wisdom. This collection stays long after you’ve stopped reading to meditate alone about body and soul. –Stephen Kuusisto \nOna Gritz’s first full length poetry collection\, Geode\, was a finalist for the 2013 Main Street Rag Poetry Book Award. “Ona Gritz’s poems prove the unlikely – that it’s possible to dazzle with simplicity\, an eloquent\, apparently effortless simplicity that poem after poem registers emotional truths. Many poems in Geode explore what it means to live gracefully with a disability. I love this book.” -Stephen Dunn \nDaniel Simpson is a recipient of a Fellowship in Literature from the PCA\, has published poems in “Prairie Schooner\,” “The Cortland Review\,” “Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review\,” “Passager\,” “Atlanta Review\,” among other literary journals. Cinco Puntos Press\, published his essay “Line Breaks the Way I See Them” and four of his poems in “Beauty Is A Verb: The New Poetry of Disability\,” a 2012 ALA Notable Poetry Book called “unusual and powerful” by “Publisher’s Weekly” in a starred review. An open mic will follow the featured readers. The event is free and 21+. Dave Worrell Host \n

SUMMARY:Moonstone Poetry at Fergie's Pub: Featuring Richard Bank\, Ryan Eckes\, and Al Tacconelli

Bank has conducted Continuing Legal Education courses on jury techniques\, and serves as an adjunct professor at Villanova Law School. \nRyan Eckes’ narrative-driven poetry is\, in his words\, “a possible form of history:” a way to document the voices and conditions of urban life. In his latest book\, Valu-Plus\, Eckes continues his examination of Philadelphia\, as he imaginatively makes use of corporate language\, workplace correspondence\, and other non-poetic texts\, “in search of free expression and experience\,” he says. \nPoet and artist\, Al Tacconelli has read at Robin’s Bookstore\, The Free Library Of Philadelphia\, and Hofstra University. Al’s poems have appeared in The Endicott Review\, and Mad Poets Review. His chapbooks are; Two Countries\, One Heart\, and The Laurenzi Poem. An open mic will follow the featured readers.
