DESCRIPTION:Moonstone Poetry @ PhillyCAM\, 699 Ranstead Street Comcast Cable 66/966HD/967 or Verizon FIOS 29/30 in Philadelphia. \n“For seventy-five years\, poets have listened to jazz and assimilated certain relationships between the two arts-not merely the issue of language but also the connection between jazz improvisation and poetic narratives as journeys.” (Preface of The Second Set by Sasha Feinstein & Yusef Kommunyakaa). \nOn this broadcast we explore that connection. \n \nAaren Perry taught writing workshops to all ages at schools\, colleges and festivals on the East Coast and in the Midwest for over 20 years. He has performed his poems at the Nuyorican Cafe\, Bower Poetry Club\, Kimmel Center\, World Café\, Fringe Festival\, and Philadelphia Writers Conference along with stages and classrooms. His work appears in magazines on NPR and on regional television. He produced and directed Page2Stage\, a long-running\, all-poetry TV show on Cable. As Production Director at the Painted Bride Art Center\, he worked with 100’s of the top poets and jazz musicians between 1986 and 2000. Bilingual with an MFA from Vermont College\, he received a PA Council on the Arts Grant. His collections include Open Fire (CWhirlwind); Poetry Across the Curriculum: An Action Guide for Teachers (Pearson); a spokenword recording\, Mercury Calling (MelodyVision)\, and a poetry collection called “Shipping and Receiving” forthcoming in 2021. \n \nSandra Turner-Barnes\, Author\, Poet\, Jazz vocalist\, Sandra Turner-Barnes was born as Sandra J. Farmer\, in Lawnside\, New Jersey. She was educated in the City of Camden\, New Jersey\, and graduated with a degree in Business Management from Pierce College of Philadelphia. Sandra is primarily the published author of poetry\, fiction and song lyrics\, but also loves Jazz. Her first book of poetry\, “Always A Lady”\, originally self-published in 1986\, was published for the third time in April of 1995\, and to date\, over 7\,000 copies have been sold. In 1996\, Sandra won the EBONY MAGAZINE Literary Competition for Short Fiction\, and in 1997\, Sandra re-created the concept of “Jazz-Oetry” and began singing Jazz. In 2000\, Sandra’s live jazz vocals’ video performance\, with pianist Barry Sames\, was selected for National & International airing on BET’s syndicated show\, “Jazz Discoveries.” \nCharles S.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Dr. Neal Hall and Krisann Janowitz\, with Aaren Perry
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82437345103?pwd=TGZ2R3JJbGpqN1ozcGl3QU1HRjlkdz09 \nZoom Meeting ID: 824 3734 5103\, Passcode: 253385\, Phone: +1 646-876-9923 \nDr. Neal Hall is a medical-surgical eye physician\, an internationally acclaimed poet\, who has performed poetry readings throughout the United States and internationally. Dr. Hall is an award-winning author of Nigger For Life\, Winter’s A’ Coming Still\, Where Do I Sit\, and Appalling Silence. The intellectual and philosopher Cornel West\, Ph.D.\, said of Dr. Hall “ [he] is a warrior of the spirit\, a warrior of the mind\, an activist\, a poet. I sense Dr. Hall’s hypersensitivity to suffering – Martin\, Malcolm and Jesus all had this hypersensitivity. Both sides of his soul have prophetic leanings. His poetry has the capacity to change ordinary people’s philosophy on social and racial issues.” \n Krisann Janowitz has always had a passion for poetry and words (since elementary school– if you count all the song lyrics about bubblegum). She was Editor-in-Chief of the St. Joseph’s University literary magazine\, The Avenue and her poems have been published by streetcake magazine\, The Avenue\, Cliterature Journal and Z Publishing. Along with her chapbook Home(less): A Sampling of Poems on Home & Homelessness published by Moonstone Press\, Krisann is host of Moonstone’s New Voices. \nAaren Perry\, Host \nOpen reading follows event

SUMMARY:Long Story Short Poetry Project (ekphrastic poems\, in a way): Virtual Reading with Mr. Fish
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84270491773?pwd=WndjTUFKNTlYZm82SnJIY3ZDV2VzZz09 \nZoom Meeting ID: 842 7049 1773\, Passcode: 192743\, Phone: +1 646-876-9923 \nAn ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting\, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning. \nClassic works spectacularly distilled by Mr. Fish and a very talented group of painters\, illustrators\, graphic designers\, and political cartoonists into succinct snapshots that are at times funny\, sad\, inspiring\, rude\, crude\, beautiful\, profound\, stomach-turning\, and mind-blowing. Contributors to the Moonstone anthology will read their poems. The anthology is available on our website for $10.
