SUMMARY:Moonstone Poetry Readings: Lake Angela and DJ
DESCRIPTION:Moonstone Poetry Readings: Lake Angela and DJ\n  \nLive at Fergie’s Pub (1214 Sansom Street) and on Zoom – Registration Required for Zoom – use this link:  \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qdOuppj8jE9NfdGxgpX-dGOEHn2Ahgh0d \n  \nLake Angela is a poet\, author of Organblooms and Words for the Dead\, choreographer\, and dancer from Lake Erie who constantly studies and develops her methods of dance as language. She works with psychiatric patients on discovering the transformative properties of dance as a therapeutic and accessible nonverbal language. Lake Angela studied choreography\, modern dance\, ballet and flamenco and rumba flamenca. In Barcelona\, she continued her professional training in contemporary\, release\, improv\, ballet\, kung fu\, and capoeira. Lake Angela’s special interests involve the poetry and dance of medieval women mystics\, the possibilities in and kinds of darknesses and silences\, and expressions of colors\, waters\, and suffering\, which she often explores in her poems and choreography. \n  \nDJ is relatively new to Philadelphia and a lifelong writer. Their poetry is straight forward with a  confessional style and touches on a variety of topics ranging from Queer identity to spirituality. She started to dabble in performance poetry in 2016 and quickly fell in love with the sense community at open mic nights and poetry slams. DJ is currently working on their first chapbook and looks forward to becoming a published author. When not writing\, you can find her hiking at Wissahickon\, frequenting their favorite South Philly dive bars\, or waxing philosophical about the state of the world.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Lynda V. E. Crawford\, Hiram Larew\, Yi Wei
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: Lynda V. E. Crawford\, Hiram Larew\, Yi Wei\n  \nRegistration Required\, Link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYkceuvrD0pHd1jEUSaAmpY03rRs76cqEjf \n  \nLynda V. E. Crawford has lived in the US longer than her childhood home Barbados. Both ‘homes’ sway and punctuate her writing. She writes to sneak behind eyes\, blow through ears\, stretch voices like others dance words. Her work has appeared in The Galway Review\, The Halcyone Literary Journal\, The Bookends Review\, and in anthologies by Spectrum Publishing\, Los Angeles Poet Society\, and Moonstone Arts Center. She also has work forthcoming in The Caribbean Writer in April 2022. \n  \n  \n  \nHiram Larew constantly prowls for poems that surprise by dint of leaps\, yelps\, and pokes. His poems have appeared widely in journals\, on the radio\, in anthologies and newspapers\, on public posters and in galleries. Author of three collections\, organizer of The Poetry Poster Project\, recipient of artist grants and purveyor of Poetry x Hunger\, he facilitates diversity in poetry communities while serving on Poetry Boards and as Courtesy Faculty at four research universities. What Hiram Larew offers in this fifth collection is a grateful glisten of poems. Many were written as outdoor rambles during the 2020-21 pandemic. Others look back over a shoulder at what seems long ago. And some are simply puddles of ponder. But above and beyond all of that\, with eyes that love sound and hearts that gleam\, Larew’s Mud Ajar is an opening that’s not meant to end. \nYi Wei is a first-generation Chinese writer with a BA in Asian American Studies and English from Swarthmore College. She currently serves as the Assistant Flash Fiction Editor at the Asian American Writers’ Workshop. Yi has been awarded the Lois Morrell Poetry Prize and is the third-place winner for the 2021 Sappho Prize for Women Poets. Her work can be found in Palette Poetry\, Lantern Review\, and Crosswinds. She’s currently a Writer in the Public Schools fellow at NYU’s MFA in poetry.
