SUMMARY:Writers Night In – Featured Reader Joshua Michael Stewart
DESCRIPTION:  \nOPEN MIC & FEATURED READER \nWriters Night Out In! \nThursday\, Dec 1\, 2020 @ 7:00pm ONLINE. \nWe’re live and online! Join us Tuesday on Zoom at 7:00 pm for Writers Night In.  \nRSVP wno@strawdogwriters.org to receive the Zoom link to the event. \nOnly those who RSVP will be able to attend. \nTen names will be randomly selected. \nThe reading starts at 7:15\, and each reader will have five minutes. General donations greatly appreciated for this event at  http://strawdogwriters.org/fund-drive \n\nPlease join us!  \n\nFEATURED READER: Joshua Michael Stewart has published poems in the Massachusetts Review\, Salamander\, Plainsongs\, Brilliant Corners\, and many others. His books are\, Break Every String\, (Hedgerow Books\, 2016) and\, The Bastard Children of Dharma Bums\, (Human Error Publishing\, 2020). Connect with him at https://www.facebook.com/joshua.m.stewart.526 \nBastard Children of Dharma Bums by Joshua Michael Stewart is a book of poems in two distinct parts. The first part is a series of thirty-four “sculpted” poems. The author explains these are erasure poems without the erased lines\, using Kerouac’s novel\, The Dharma Bums. Stewart has chosen and crafted the words to make surprising imagery and beautiful poems\, which stand well together and on their own. I enjoyed his delightful use of verbs\, such as “jump a bottle of wine\,” “surf the mountain” and “spend the warmth of God.” Some of these poems are rich with language\, some are more sparse. #26 reminds me of early James Wright with\, “A mischievous boy\, I tried to talk / to the fancy ladies in lawn hats. / Having to smile real nice\, I felt / like a dead crow.” I like the changeup of forms in both parts\, from more modern/concrete work that creatively uses white space on the page\, to golden shovels\, to more traditionally lineated poems.  In the second section of the book\, entitled “The Hardest Path\,” there is a strong influence of Japanese form.  “Nature Lesson” and “Shelburne Fire Tower” are basically series of haibun. Several poems have a Kerouacian use of extended haiku. This is Stewart’s second book\, and well worth adding to any quality poetry collection.  \n—Lori Desrosiers\, author of Keeping Planes in the Air and other books from Salmon Poetry \n

SUMMARY:Writers Read/Hilltowns with featured reader Terry S. Johnson
DESCRIPTION:We will meet in the Virtual Hilltowns via Zoom on August 2\, 2-4 p.m. \nHere’s how it works: To attend\, email Jane Roy Brown for a link to the meeting: brownjaneroy@gmail.com. Hosted by Jane Roy Brown. \n  \nFeatured Reader: Terry S. Johnson \n“In Terry S. Johnson’s PLUNGE\, personal history\, family history\, and public history commingle—always strikingly\, always surprisingly. Think of this book as a family photo album\, in which both the sepia images of the poet’s father—war hero\, pilot\, POW—and the Polaroids depicting the poet’s own youth\, speak to one another across time. This passage is achieved through imaginative daring\, but also through a sure and steady lyric acuity. PLUNGE honors the past with vigor\, invention\, and a big-hearted generosity of spirit.”   DAVID WOJAHN \n  \n

SUMMARY:Writers Read - Featured Reader Faith Kindness
DESCRIPTION:Here’s how it works: The featured writer reads recent work and describes the journey to publication\, followed by Q & A. Then the floor opens to other writers\, who can read for five minutes each; we also draw two names for 10-minute readings. If you want to read\, put your name in the hat before 2:15.\n\n\nLong-time resident of Western Massachusetts\, Faith Dickhaut Kindness is a visual artist\, teacher\, former librarian\, and writer whose memoir in poetry is entitled The Art of Waiting.  \n“In the late 60s during the Vietnam War\,” she writes\, “I was a young wife on Okinawa. The subject matter of The Art of Waiting is based on two years in her twenties when life took a direction she hadn’t previously encountered and she simultaneously faced two unknown mindsets – that of the military and that of living in a foreign culture.  \nWhen we first arrived back in the U.S. people weren’t ready to hear the stories I was bursting to tell. Writing this book became a cathartic journey that has “released my psyche to heal.” The book is organized in roughly chronological sections with headings like a symphony. Theme and variation twine through the pages that cover the loneliness of separation\, being reunited abroad but not having what military brass considered a necessary function\, my questioning what the U.S. was doing in what felt an unpopular war\, and lingering effects of that experience after returning home. \nHer work has been published in Equinox\, Wise Woman Journal\, and Silkworm as well as being included in the Straw Dog Writers Guild anthology Compass Roads. \n
