Morales. \nPoet\, essayist\, and translator Ulalume González de León believed that “Everything has already been said\,” and\, thus\, that each act of creation is a rewriting\, reshuffling\, and reconstructing of one great work. For this reason\, she chose the title Plagios (Plagiarisms) for her book of collected poems. Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz called Ulalume González de León “the best Mexicana poet since Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz\,” recognizing the visionary quality of her work. \nPlagios (Plagiarisms)\, just out this year from Sixteen Rivers Press\, is the first of three bilingual volumes of González de León’s work. This first volume presents several short collections of poems González de León produced from 1968 to 1971\, each of which explores the ephemeral nature of identity and its dependence on the ever-shifting ground of language and memory. \nABOUT THE TRANSLATORS \nTerry Ehret\, one of the founders of Sixteen Rivers Press\, has published four collections of poetry\, most recently Night Sky Journey from Kelly’s Cove Press. Her literary awards include the National Poetry Series\, the California Book Award\, the Pablo Neruda Poetry Prize\, a nomination for the Northern California Book Reviewer’s Award\, and five Pushcart Prize nominations. From 2004–2006\, she served as the poet laureate of Sonoma County where she lives and teaches writing. \nNancy J. Morales\, a first-generation American of Puerto Rican parents\, earned her bachelor’s degree from Rutgers College\, a master’s in teaching English as a Second Language from Adelphi University\, and a doctorate in education from Teachers College at Columbia University. She has taught at Dominican University\, College of Marin\, Sonoma State University\, and other schools\, from elementary to graduate levels. Currently she is a board member for the Northern California Chapter of the Fulbright Alumni Association and teaches Spanish to private clients. \nJohn Johnson’s poetry has appeared in many print and online journals\, including Boxcar Poetry Review\, Clade Song\, Triggerfish Critical Review\, and Web Conjunctions. He is a long-time student of the Spanish language and has studied letter-press printing with Iota Press of Sebastopol\, producing chapbooks and bilingual broadsides. \nZoom at 6 pm: \nJoin from PC\, Mac\, Linux\, iOS or Android:https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/98189086098 \nOr iPhone one-tap (US Toll): +16699006833\,98189086098# or +12532158782\,98189086098# \nOr Telephone:\n Dial:\n +1 669 900 6833 (US Toll)\n +1 253 215 8782 (US Toll)\n +1 346 248 7799 (US Toll)\n +1 301 715 8592 (US Toll)\n +1 312 626 6799 (US Toll)\n +1 646 876 9923 (US Toll)\n Meeting ID: 981 8908 6098\n International numbers available: https://cccconfer.zoom.us/u/aAa63PMfu URL:https://www.mostpoetry.org/event/second-tuesday-poetry-ulalume-gonzalez-de-leon/ CATEGORIES:Readings,Second Tuesday ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.mostpoetry.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/7246475B-1EE2-4F6F-8457-C76100D74AE6.png ORGANIZER;CN="Stella Beratlis":MAILTO:stellab@mostpoetry.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200512T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200512T190000 DTSTAMP:20260424T015731 CREATED:20200507T193932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200507T193932Z UID:1381-1589306400-1589310000@www.mostpoetry.org SUMMARY:Second Tuesday @ Barkin' Dog - on Zoom!

Schmidt has written much more prose than poetry.  When he started writing poetry\, he felt the poems happened accidentally\, like they found him\, which was probably the influence of the great imagist poets he has taught in his college classes for so long.  Lately\, he has allowed his poems to be more topical\, personal\, phrase-driven\, and ultimately more intentional. \nKathleen Winter is the author of I will not kick my friends (2018)\, which won the Elixir Poetry Prize\, and Nostalgia for the Criminal Past\, winner of the Texas Institute of Letters Bob Bush Memorial Award. Her poems have appeared in Tin House\, Agni\, New Statesman\, New Republic and Yale Review. She was granted fellowships by Sewanee Writers’ Conference\, Dobie Paisano Ranch\, Dora Maar House\, James Merrill House and Cill Rialaig Retreat.

We’ll have an evening of writing inspired by the poetry of Thomas Merton\, hosted by Ed Bearden. An open mic will follow the featured reading\, so bring a poem or two to share. \nAbout the Thomas Merton Poetry Group: In February of 2016 Deacon George Cano of St. Paul’s Episcopalian Church\, convened the Thomas Merton poetry group. It was began to provide more than chit-chat\, but rather to encourage spiritual growth. Poetry\, as another way to pray. Meeting twice a month\, the group wrote and published Poetic Prayer: writing from the soul. Meditation\ntechniques from Buddhist traditions or centering prayer were used to access the poetic well. The group consists of Deacon George Cano\, Ed Bearden\, Roberta Bearden\, Jeanette Comegys\, Stephanie Gilmer\, Sarah B. Hartmann\, Judy Miller\, Linda Marie Prather and Cheryl Russel Pogue. Others would be welcome to join the writing and fellowship.
