SUMMARY:Tay Reem
DESCRIPTION:Tay Reem is a published author and poet\, born in Nigeria and raised in a small town in Maryland. Driven by the need to tell compelling stories\, Reem began her journey to authorship at just 11 years old. She sought out to create similar worlds she was so fond of reading about as a means to temporarily escape reality. Her debut book\, Tales of Woe\, was published October 2020. \nInspired by her own childhood and every day human experiences\, Reem channels her empathetic side as fuel for her work. Her academic background in psychology and previous work as a behavioral analyst\, prepared her for a universe of complicated characters portraying the light\, the grey and the dark side of humanity. Her next book is set to do just that – tell real narratives about regular people who do what any of us would do given the right circumstance. \n​Reem has been featured in several publications such as Thrive Global\, 360 magazine\, Authority magazine and A Blue Million Books. She currently resides in Orange County California where she is hard at work on her second book. On her off days\, you can usually find her on a hiking trail in the hills or off-roading in the desert.

SUMMARY:Brian Sonia Wallace
DESCRIPTION:” In 2012\, I set up a typewriter on the street with a sign that said “Poetry Store” and accidentally started my business: RENT Poet. \nOver 5\,000 poems later\, my book of essays\, The Poetry of Strangers\, profiles the communities I’ve written for across America\, and the desperate desire to be listened to and heard that I found. Excerpts have been published in The Guardian and Rolling Stone\, and I’ve been the official Writer in Residence for unlikely clients from Amtrak to the Mall of America. \nI now work with teams of poets to bring poetry to events\, provide educational workshops\, and advocate for the arts more broadly. RENT Poet has been featured on NPR’s How I Built This and continues to bring typewriter poetry to events. As an educator and advocate\, I’m an instructor at the UCLA Extension Writing Program and the Manager of Education for Get Lit – Words Ignite\, supporting over 100 schools and thousands of students in writing their own poetry.”

SUMMARY:Hari B Khalsa
DESCRIPTION:“I started life in a small town in Central Oregon and have lived in Los Angeles for the past 45 years with my husband (and best buddy)\, where together we manage our private chiropractic practice\, write\, do artistic stuff and look forward to moving to the country where we can\, once again\, take long\, slow walks\, have a garden\, a cat and a dog. In my life\, I’ve practiced yoga\, meditation\, Improv theater\, dressage\, been a Life Coach\, and went back to school at age 52 to complete my BA in Creative Writing at Vermont College. Over the years my poems have appeared in over fifty publications. In 2009 I was honored to have my poem\, I Would Tell You\, selected for The Best of the Web 2009. My first chapbook\, Life in Two Parts was selected as a finalist in the 2009 Main Street Rag Chapbook Competition and Walrus Books published a full-length book of poems Talk of Snow in 2015. \n\n\n\n\n\nMy current chapbook She Speaks to the Birds at Night While They Sleep was selected by Judge Gail Wronsky for Tebot Bach as the 2020 winner of their Clockwise Chapbook Contest. I wrote these poems in the early days and weeks of the Coronavirus pandemic\, pecking at my IPad before I drifted off to sleep at night. These 28 poems chronicle the small and large moments of a woman’s day-to-day\, a way to express what was experienced as both real and earthly\, as well as the internal\, the spirit\, the imagination that takes flight on the wings of birds.”

SUMMARY:(Rescheduled) Alexis Rhone Fancher
DESCRIPTION:Alexis Rhone Fancher tears the plain brown wrapper off erotica. She refuses to play safe\, strips away pretense\, intent on exposing the fragility\, angst and longing lurking just below the sexual surface. EROTIC features poems and flash never before seen in any collection\, as well as gems from Rhone Fancher’s first two erotic offerings\, How I Lost My Virginity to Michael Cohen & other heart stab poems (2014) and Enter Here (2017). It includes the infamous “Sister Poems\,” all together for the first time. With her “take no prisoners” attitude\, Rhone Fancher spares no one\, least of all herself. As she’s quoted in The Fem: “I write about women like me\, women who own their sexuality and take responsibility for their choices. It may seem I’m writing about sex\, but really\, I’m writing about power. Who has it. How to get it. How to wield it. How to keep it.” Come along with the author as she careens through her checkered past. Enjoy her misadventures. Cop a feel. Have a laugh. But reader beware: Alexis Rhone Fancher’s wry confessional may do more than lubricate your libido. It just might steal your heart.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Bradpiece\, online!
DESCRIPTION:We’re happy to present a pre-taped presentation\, courtesy of Moon Tide Press\, of one of our favorite poets and people\, Jennifer Bradpiece. \n\nLULLABIES FOR END TIMES is a surreal lullaby to living\, always in the shadow of loss. The poems weave a tapestry of abstract\, personal\, and political themes. They dwell as much in the immediate as the in-between. Perhaps you are drunk on love\, death\, and gin in an alleyway. Perhaps as you hunch in the wet dark stench you hear some beautiful and sad music echoing out the drain pipe of a jazz bar. Perhaps as you drift in and out of waking\, the moment illuminates how the sacred is never far from the profane.
