SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Event: International Worker's Day
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Event: International Worker’s Day\nSunday May 1\, 2022 – 2 pm -VIRTUAL – International Workers’ Day (Labor Day\, May 1) \nRegistration Required – use this link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtf–qrT0pGtX7GFWtGu2R5kGRSju8bauy \n  \nInternational Workers’ Day\, also known as Labor Day in most countries and often referred to as May Day\, is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement and occurs every year on May Day (1 May). Though it’s celebrated internationally\, Labor Day originated in the United States and has its roots in the rise of trade unions in 19th century Chicago\, their hard-fought battle for workers’ rights\, and the fight for the eight-hour workday. International Workers’ Day was officially recognized in 1889 at the first International Socialist Congress in Paris to commemorate the Haymarket Affair—a bloody confrontation between striking union workers and Chicago police in 1886.

SUMMARY:Remembering Thomas Kinsella
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Thomas Kinsella\nSunday May 8\, 2022 – 2pm \nRegistration Required – use this link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZApf-GpqTwpE9QBzsJ92os8X53FdKo3E0zv \n  \nThomas Kinsella (4 May 1928 – 22 December 2021) was an Irish poet\, translator\, editor\, and publisher. \nHe began publishing poetry in the early 1950s and\, around the same time\, translated early Irish poetry into English. In the 1960s\, he moved to the United States to teach English at universities including Temple University\, where he started Temple’s Irish studies program. \nHis sensitive lyrics deal with primal aspects of the human experience\, often in a specifically Irish context. He began serving in the Irish civil service in 1946\, and in the early 1950s he met Liam Miller\, the founder of the Doleman Press\, which published much of Kinsella’s poetry beginning in 1952. In 1965 he left the Irish civil service and took a position as a writer in residence at Southern Illinois University in 1965 and at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1970. \nKinsella founded his own publishing company\, the Peppercanister Press\, in Dublin in 1972\, which allowed him to publish pamphlets and individual poems in limited editions without relying on submissions to journals or magazines. Kinsella’s first poem to be published through his press was Butcher’s Dozen about Bloody Sunday\, in which 13 demonstrators were killed by British troops in Londonderry (Derry)\, Northern Ireland\, and the ensuing tribunal. Numerous collections of Kinsella’s poems were released\, including Collected Poems\, 1956–2000)\, Selected Poems\, Fat Master\, and Late Poems; the latter was published by Carcanet Press\, which released several of his works in the early 21st century.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: New Voices Spring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: New Voices Spring 2022\nSaturday May 21\, 2022– 2pm EST \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcuitqTooGdwfpzt7nCg8xrIqo7F7spOJ \n  \nNew Voices: Philadelphia’s Emerging Poets is a program designed for emerging poets under the age of 25. It aims to create a platform for younger poets by welcoming them into the larger Philadelphia poetry community and giving them the opportunity to share their work with a wider audience. \nUs humans tend to narrow our audience and present to others in our schools or poetry groups. Moonstone’s objective is to expand your audience\, introduce you to others who share your interest in poetry but live in different communities and go to different schools. Each month we present three poets from different communities followed by an open reading. We are still virtual on zoom. In addition to monthly readings we publish a New Voices anthology twice a year\, once in spring and once in fall\, and have a reading from the anthology. This is an on-going project so please send us your poems. \n
