This month’s first Monday was not so great, with way too much snow and way too much cold. Fortunately, First Tuesday quickly came around and made things right. The open mic night at Terrazza Café was a huge and crowded success. Thanks to all who attended!
Our featured poet, Marcelene Mosca, had the opportunity to present her work accompanied by Bruce Jacobs on the clarinet and two recorders (not all at the same time), resulting in moving and sometimes eerie renditions of her poetry.
There were also first-time readers who braved the stage (and the frightening jump onto it), so thanks especially for your participation. We hope to see you back next month.
The issue of language preference of the poetry ready at the JHPF came up, and here’s the awesome solution we came up for it:
Although it is encouraged to translate your poem into English, or give an English summary so that the majority can understand it, it is a huge privilege to hear a poem read by its author in the language it was first written. So please, do not be shy around the sign-up sheet if your first language is not English. We want to hear what you have to say!
Check back for pictures and updates soon.
