Poetry Reading: Miranda Beeson

With thanks to Maria Cox, we have been introduced to Miranda Beeson, a real, live and very engaging poet.  She has offered to do a reading from her current book Wildlife for Carnegie Hill Village.  After the reading, Miranda will converse with Maria Cox and Alden Prouty about the challenges and pleasures of the creative process.   Miranda enjoys interacting with an audience on the topic of creativity and we expect an engaged audience. Many of you appreciate our weekly Photo & Poem, with photographs by Maria and poems, songs, and quotes unearthed by Alden.    Audience participation will be invited and encouraged!

Miranda has written four books of poetry, and her poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies.  She has received poetry awards and prizes.  She teaches as well, most recently creative writing & literature at Stony Brook University.  And she leads poetry workshops including Poets4Poets, a Sunday "jam session" where poets discuss creative process and tackle the minefield of publication.

The reading will take place on Thursday, September 19th, starting at 3PM.   It will be held at the apartment of Alden Prouty, at 1140 Fifth Avenue (at 95th Street), Apartment 2C.   There is room for 13 participants, and all of those places have currently been taken.  There is a waitlist, however, and if you want to add your name, press the green button below to register for the waitlist.
