SUMMARY:Second Tuesday Poetry Reading with Nicca Ray and Michelle Cernuto
DESCRIPTION:The Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center features authors Nicca Ray and Michelle Cernuto for the August installment of Second Tuesday Poetry. Join us for a great mix of poetry\, ghost fiction\, and punk rock memoir on Tuesday\, August 10 at 7 pm on Zooom. Hosted by Stella Beratlis with open mic following the featured readers.\n\nZoom: https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/91909197367\nOpen mic signup: https://form.jotform.com/berattle/secondtuesday\n\nNICCA RAY\nNicca Ray’s poetry collection\, BACK SEAT BABY\, was recently published by Chris D.’s Poison Fang Books. In the forward\, Ann Magnusun writes\, “Plumbing the depths of uncertainty and loneliness\, Ray finds gold in the collective swamplands of our souls.” The poet\, Charles Plymell\, calls Back Seat Baby the “High Noon of poetry.”\n\nNicca Ray’s memoir RAY BY RAY: A DAUGHTER’S TAKE ON THE LEGEND OF NICHOLAS RAY (Three Rooms Press\, 2020) has been called “harrowing\, beautifully written and near-impossible to put down” by Shelf Awareness and “a daring revelation of strength and survival\, told unflinchingly\, bravely\, with empathy\, sympathy and ultimately an understanding of a great artist who is almost impossible to fathom\,” by Ronee Blakely\, actress\, singer and Academy Award nominee.\nNicca is a Pushcart Prize nominee and a 2020 Acker Award recipient.\n\nMICHELLE CERNUTO\nMichelle Cernuto is the author of the recently published YOU USED TO KNOW ME\, a fictional coming-of-age account of growing up in Las Vegas in the 80s.\n\n“A mash note from beyond the grave to a lost Vegas. 1980s punk teen dysfunction… a melancholic travelogue through a spiritual wasteland. The self-effacing murder victim gives us a matter-of-fact\, blow-by-blow commentary as she haunts both her friends and her predator in a suburban\, desert dystopia…. We see ominous harbingers of Death rushing headlong towards us\, much like an out-of-control carnival ride…locked into one final\, endlessly accelerating rollercoaster to oblivion. There’s no getting off\, and the effect is harrowing and masterful.– Chris D. (author of No Evil Star\, Dragon Wheel Splendor and Other Love Stories of Violence and Dread\, Mother’s Worry\, et.al.; singer/songwriter of the bands The Flesh Eaters and Divine Horsemen)\n\n“A vivid recollection of a crazy time in the crazy place of the American Southwest…a transitional time before entire cities were turned into theme parks. Magically real\, her story echoes the truth of the women I grew up with\, who fought an oppression they could feel empirically but not always articulate with street smarts and sheer guts. And then there are the ghosts…” – Victor Krummenacher (of bands Camper Van Beethoven\, Monks of Doom and The Third Mind) \n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, Linux\, iOS or Android: https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/91909197367\nOr iPhone one-tap (US Toll): +16699006833\,91909197367# or +13462487799\,91909197367#\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+1 646 876 9923 (US Toll)\n+1 301 715 8592 (US Toll)\n+1 312 626 6799 (US Toll)\nMeeting ID: 919 0919 7367\nInternational numbers available: https://cccconfer.zoom.us/u/aeu6vPmQF
