SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Protest 2021 Anthology with 100 Thousand Poets for Change
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: Protest 2021 Anthology with 100 Thousand Poets for Change\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82855093815?pwd=Ryt0RzBqMmoyYWxJU3Q1YmJ2dnZmdz09 \nMeeting ID: 828 5509 3815 – Passcode: 838862 \nMoonstone Arts Center celebrates 11 years of 100 Thousand Poets for Change with readings from our new anthology Protest 2021 \n \n  \n100 Thousand Poets for Change (100 TPC) has organized over 5000 poetry\, art and music gatherings for the cause of Peace\, Justice\, and Sustainability across the globe in the last 10 years. Poets from many languages\, cultures\, geographical regions\, ethnicities\, creeds\, beliefs\, and religious affiliations have come together year after year to lead and promote poetry readings\, without any preconditions or censorship\, where participants speak out for causes nearest their hearts. In the process\, oppressions\, exploitative practices\, biases\, and abuses of many kinds have been highlighted (personal and social\, communal\, political and economic\, spiritual\, intellectual and emotional)—whether based on gender\, race\, class\, or religious affiliation\, color\, territory\, language and cultural tradition\, or any form of differentiation whatsoever. \nThese are real troubles that wrack our world; there are distinct and often mortal consequences to these regimes of tyranny and persecution; and there is a collective interest in striving toward the demanding ideal that 100 TPC has set for itself in calling for Peace\, Justice\, Sustainability. \nMoonstone is continuing this global initiative with our latest anthology\, Protest 2021. The anthology includes over 40 poets writing about creating change through protest. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: J. C. Todd and Beyond Repair
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: J. C. Todd and Beyond Repair\n  \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84532069956?pwd=c2VzQWMrWnN6a3oxR3ZvaVVEWS93UT09 \nMeeting ID: 845 3206 9956\, Passcode: 704102 \n  \nJ. C. Todd’s Beyond Repair bears vivid witness to the struggles for healing\, both small- and large-scale\, in global hotspots of conflict. With precisely crafted poems\, imbued with empathy and grace\, Todd examines those who must continue with daily life amidst horror and chaos. This fierce and moving collection is a special honoree for the 2019 Able Muse Book Award. \nBeyond Repair ($19.95\, Able Muse Press\, 978-1773490595) is woven of war and aftermath. Survival lives in the blood-wit of each turn in this wrought collection\, singing and daring the heart awake. This voice is refined to an edge. . . . Leaps and associations feel calibrated as the reader finds oneself sizing up the angle of heart and head\, becoming part of the accumulative turns—an accord of people\, voices\, places\, times—and we confront what war does to one who has a capacity for grace.  Yusef Komunyakaa\, Everyday Mojo Songs of Earth \nBearing unflinching witness to upheaval across borders and time\, places where “nothing / is left\, not even names\,” Todd’s poems give voice to the oppressed and missing\, asking “Without a speaker language what is it.” Compassionate\, questioning\, she remains keenly aware of the challenges of representation\, acknowledging how “beyond the cropped shot” the “background resists / insists.” . . . . J. C. Todd’s unforgettable voices and visions will leave you transformed forever.  Dilruba Ahmed\, Bring Now the Angels \nIn these powerful\, impassioned poems of war’s devastation\, what counts is . . . bodies and minds caught in modern warfare’s mutilating gears. Eloquent in witness\, with searing exactitude\, J. C. Todd restores life’s meaning—always war’s first casualty. Filling the acronym PTS with substance—“memory a carnivore ravening the entrails / of castaway reason”—she takes us inside those who’ve served\, the poet as faithfully vigilant as the Air Force doctor charged with care\, even of those damaged “beyond repair.”  Eleanor Wilner\, Before Our Eyes

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: Margaret Randell\, Cynthia Dewi Oka
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading with Margaret Randell and Cynthia Dewi Oka\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84308329737?pwd=RjJUdCtJVXRySjlvMHdXakJRRzVmUT09 \nMeeting ID: 843 0832 9737 – Passcode: 678146 \n  \n \nMargaret Randell is a feminist poet\, writer\, photographer and social activist. Author of more than 150 books\, releasing this month are Thinking About Thinking (not quite essays) and Out of Violence Into Poetry. She has lived for extended periods in Albuquerque\, New York\, Seville\, Mexico City\, Havana\, and Managua. Shorter stays in Peru and North Vietnam were also formative. In the turbulent 1960s she co-founded and co-edited EL CORNO EMPLUMADO / THE PLUMED HORN\, a bilingual literary journal which for eight years out of Mexico City published some of the most dynamic and meaningful writing of an era. From 1984 through 1994 she taught at a number of U.S. universities. \n“My life and work have been profoundly informed by parents who gave me love and adventure\, and encouraged creativity; the dramatic desert canyons\, rich colors and open skies of the southwestern United States; Socialist ideals; the second wave of feminism; and the generous mentorship of many great friends and colleagues. My children\, grandchildren\, and great grandchildren are always with me\, even when far away; and my spouse Barbara is bedrock. New York’s abstract expressionist painters in the 1950s\, Mexico and her struggles of the 1960s\, the Cuban revolution’s second brave decade in the 1970s\, the Vietnamese people’s struggle against US attack and occupation in that same decade\, and the Sandinista attempt to change Nicaragua in the early 1980s were places and events that shaped me. The exploration of ancient sites continues to be a source of nourishment\, and I have long been involved with oral tradition. I deeply believe in humanistic values\, combating our culture of violence and greed\, and art as a tool for change.” Her memoir I Never Left Home: Poet\, Feminist\, Revolutionary came out in 2020. \n  \n Cynthia Dewi Oka is the author of Fire Is Not a Country (2021)\, Salvage\, and Nomad of Salt and Hard Water. She is Poetry Editor at Kweli Journal. Cynthia worked as an organizer\, trainer\, and fundraiser in social movements for gender\, racial\, economic\, and migrant justice. As an immigrant and former young single mother with working-class roots\, her aesthetics are guided by her core values: self-determination\, collaboration\, and attention to the peripheral. Cynthia has taught creative writing at Bryn Mawr College and literary/arts organizations including Murphy Writing of Stockton University\, The Blue Stoop\, and Asian Arts Initiative\, with whom she partnered in the aftermath of the 2016 election to offer Sanctuary: A Migrant Poetry Workshop for immigrant poets based in Philadelphia. She has served as a visiting Distinguished Writer at Widener University\, and conducted workshops and readings at Princeton University\, University of Pennsylvania\, The New School\, New York University\, Swarthmore College\, and Williams College\, among others.
