Dear Citizen's On Alert:
Remotely Personal Greetings is
hosting its 3rd remote event of the Fall 2020 season, and we're just in
time for nerve wracking buid-up to the National Presidential election
next week - will it be a day of comeuppance for our Troll of State? Will
we wish we'd moved to Canada years ago? Will there be massive tectonic
shifting? Well, whatever does happen next Tuesday will be something for
the books and poets love books like oxygen so hopefully we'll be dancing
with the muse. For the time being however lets hear what these four
fantastic poets have to say about their own personal states and perhaps
ours as well... so, Please take a chance this Thursday, October 29th at 9:00 PM EST ( 8:00 CST, 7:00 MST, 6:0PST, 5:00AST, 4:00 HST) with
four thrilling voices for the eve before all Hallow's Eve that will
have you,hopefully looking forward to a huge change as October burns
towards a new beginning by celebrating an ending
Wanda Phipps- wakes late morning in her Brooklyn pad or perhaps she’s been
traveling between worlds and is in Ukraine again or in a yurt near the shores
of gorgeous Lake Baikal in the Siberian hinterland. Her desires fill a field of
wanting with a thousand wake-up calls transformed into used bicycle parts to
form a Calder-like menagerie pedaling into the wind, traveling through time & soft space.
Jackson Meazle- knows when you pay more for an automobile than it cost Columbus to make his
first voyage to America, well, that’s politics – any dang thing can be
political, ya’ll just try to use a simple word like Vertebra, and as you listen
to Jackson’s pomes no one will blame you for going into an inspired secret dream or
writing your own Zoom Sonnet.
Lillian Bertram- knows most of would like to reverse disaster after human disaster by becoming aware of the
teleportation devices inherent in your imagination and while you are at it
value the intangible quality of Lillian’s pomes as you contemplate the perfect
cinnamon roll hiking through the mountains of your bookshelves.
Tongo Eisen-Martin - knows it’s not about weaponizing poetry like they weaponize children in
schools but about being able to use a poem as an icepick to chip off the ice
each of us, a chip of the old block, naw, but to chip off the layers of icy
insulation that keep us from seeing feeling what’s really going on out there,
so let new modes of thought energize you now.
As
last Season an email detailing the Zoom log-in info will be sent to
guests an hour or two beforehand. Once you log-on there will be a short
wait while your email is verified. The "live" event will begin at 9:00
EST with a brief meet n' greet, followed by the convocation, leading us
to the 1st reader of the evening.
And
please don't forget to support UNNAMEABLE BOOKS the amazing book store
who is our live host! You can find them here at 600 Vanderbilt Avenue in
Brooklyn's Burgeoning Prospect Heights 11-7 most days (but not
Tuesdays)... 2 customers at a time or go tohttps://unnameablebooks.square.site to purchase the latest, greatest & past books from these fantastic poets
Feel free to forward any questions our way.
Looking forward to seeing ya'll,
X's to your O's
