SUMMARY:Second Tuesday Poetry with the Meter Maids
DESCRIPTION:Join us this month as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the local writing group The Meter Maids\, featuring members of the group reading their work. Open mic following featured readers. NOTE: 7 pm start time.  \nBelow is a history of the Meter Maids: \nWhat began as a sharing of poetry between two women who worked with the committee that brought the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day to Modesto in April 1990 inspired one to reach out to other friends who wrote and loved poetry.\nThe group gathered monthly at various homes and remained nameless for many\, many years\, welcoming a few men and many women into its fold. Eventually\, the group evolved into an ever-changing\, nurturing sisterhood\, whose members have ranged in age from 16 to 80 and included two mother-daughter partners. One daughter\, the 16-year-old\, is grown\, married and continues to meet with us from New York on Zoom with her infant son on her lap.\nThe structure of our monthly meetings departs from most poetry groups\, which usually write independently and bring poems to be read\, critiqued and enjoyed. We are not designed as a critique group\, but critique does happen. We are not a therapy group\, but we do support one another through our personal challenges. We share a common love of poetry and passion for writing.\nOver the years the group has developed a tradition of staring each meeting with an afternoon “tea” schmooze during which members catch up with one another\, share our lives\, gather words or suggest prompts\, then write and share. The tradition includes sharing the fun of writing and creating around such monthly prompts as fortune cookie Monday in January; hearts; MLK; dead presidents in February; Women’s History in March’ the four seasons at solstices and equinoxes; Cinco de Mayo in May\, Stone Soup; pumpkins\, ghosts and goblins in October; Dia de los Muertos and Thanksgiving in November; and the many\, many holidays in December.\nOver the past 30 years\, three chap books have been published\, and a 30-Year- Anniversary book featuring poetry submitted by members past and present will go to press very soon\, thanks to the talented and dedicated work of one of our original founding members\, Karen Baker.\nWe share these samplings of our poetry with gratitude for the talented community of poets both in Meter Maids and in the Modesto area. We are pleased that members who have moved away to new adventures can join our Zoom meetings during this quarantine year and beyond.\nHi there\,\nhttps://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/97782297419\nOr iPhone one-tap (US Toll): +16699006833\,97782297419# or +13462487799\,97782297419#\nOr Telephone:\nDial:\n+1 669 900 6833 (US Toll)\n+1 346 248 7799 (US Toll)\n+1 253 215 8782 (US Toll)\n+1 312 626 6799 (US Toll)\n+1 646 876 9923 (US Toll)\n+1 301 715 8592 (US Toll)\nMeeting ID: 977 8229 7419

SUMMARY:Poetry Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our MoSt Summer Book Club is back on Wednesday\, July 15\, 2020 at 6:30\, and you don’t even have to drive to the library because it is a Zoom meeting! \nWe’ll be discussing Natasha Tretheway’s Pulitzer Prize winning collection\, Native Guard. There are copies available to borrow at the Modesto Public Library. If you’d like one\, please email Vicki\, our most wonderful librarian contact\, at vsalinas@stanlibrary.org. \nThrough elegiac verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood\, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South — where one of the first black regiments\, the Louisiana Native Guards\, was called into service during the Civil War. Trethewey’s resonant and beguiling collection is a haunting conversation between personal experience and national history. (from the Houghton Mifflin website) \nWe’ll send out the Zoom invite via Mailchimp and our Facebook page later this month\, so stay tuned!

SUMMARY:Second Tuesday Poetry: Ulalume González de León
DESCRIPTION:Join the Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center via Zoom on the second Tuesday in May to celebrate the publication of Ulalume González de León’s PLAGIOS/PLAGIARISMS VOL. 1\, with project translators Terry Ehret\, John Johnson\, and Nancy J. 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

SUMMARY:7th Annual MoSt Benefit - CANCELED
