This week, Thom Francis introduces us to local poets Alyssa Michelle & Christa DeMarco. These two dynamic writers shared their work at the Brass Tacks poetry open mic at The Low Beat in Albany on February 19, 2019. +++++ One of the casualties of the pandemic was a local venue that was home to many literary events. The Low Beat played host to the Nitty Gritty Slam, Word Fest, the Brass Tacks open mic series, and other poetry and spoken word shows until it closed in 2020. For years writers gathered together on the first and third Tuesdays to share their work and speak their mind. Featured readers from all around the country joined local, community poets on Central Avenue for events that engaged and inspired. No matter who you were or where you came from, everyone was welcome on that stage to speak their truth. On February 19, 2019, Alyssa Michelle and Christa DeMarco came out and did just that in front of a receptive audience. Alyssa is first up to the mic with two poems, “Humble” and “The Other Side of the Bed” which is, as Dan Wilcox noted on his blog, “a pile of the clothes she is going to wear tomorrow rather than a lover.” Christa DeMarco then took the stage and read an untitled poem with a lot word-play on personal and environmental themes. She finished with a piece detailing her day job as a home health aide.

Whether it's your first time reading poetry in public or you have been around the local literary community for years, the Third Thursday Poetry Night always feels like home. Last August, poet Judith Kerman was the featured reader. As host Dan Wilcox noted on his blog, “She began, & continued, with poems that pretend to be, or are, definitions, from her book Definitions; her first example was “Diaspora" in nine small parts, images, obliquely, historically responding to the dictionary definition.” She continued with the philosophical “Algorhythm” and “Canned Soup,” a prose poem and meditation on soup. She wrapped up her set with “Scoliosis,” “Why I Never Married,” and one final definition poem, “Israel,” in 10 tiny parts. Judith Kerman is a poet, performer, and artist who has published ten books or chapbooks of poetry. Her most recent work, Definitions, was published by Fomite Press in 2021. She has published two translations from Spanish: A Woman in Her Garden: Selected Poems of Dulce María Loynaz (White Pine Press, 2002) and Praises and Offenses: Three Women Poets from the Dominican Republic (BOA Editions, 2009). Kerman was a Fulbright Scholar to the Dominican Republic, where she translated poetry and fiction by Dominican women. She was also awarded the Abbie M. Kopps Poetry Prize and an Honorable Mention from the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award.

In their conversation, they discuss that poem, the local open mic scene, and more. ————— Bob Sharkey is the editor of the Stephen A. DiBiase Poetry Prize contest which is sponsored by his family. They decided to name the contest afterBob's best childhood friend. They grew up together in the Libbytown section of Portland, Maine. They liked to explore the fields, wooded areas, and marshes in the area between their homes on Wood Street and the Fore River. Stephen was like a big brother to Bob. Stephen went to Vietnam as an Army photographer. After he returned, he urged his friend Bob to avoid Vietnam at all costs and Stephen and his family helped Bob obtain conscientious objector status. In 1973, Stephen drowned in shallow water off the coast near Bath, Maine. The contest was designed by Bob to be unlike other contests and avoid some of the things that discouraged him from submitting to them. There are no entry fees. The $2,500 or so prize money is spread out among the top entrants with a modest first place prize award of $500. There are no line or page limits and the contest gladly reads all forms of poetry and is open to all subjects and topics or none. Published or unpublished work is welcome. There are no age limits and we typically receive many submissions by younger poets, some who have won prizes or recognition.

The exhibit showcases 42 stunning pieces of art, created by 24 talented artists, each responding to poems written by 23 unique voices from the world of poetry.

Thom Francis introduces us to Jill Crammond and Cheryl A. Rice who shared their work at Arts Associates Gallery in Albany for a special reading celebrating Poetic License - a joint project of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild and Upstate Artists Guild. “Ekphrastic art” is defined as the response of an artist in one medium to a work of art by an artist in another medium. Its more common manifestation is in poetry written about visual art, e.g., paintings, photographs, drawings, sculpture. Poetic License – Albany is a project that turns that around, giving local visual artists an opportunity to respond to the work of poets. In 2022, inspired by a project created by the Poetry Barn in West Hurley, NY & the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), the Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild created their own version of this project which they called Poetic License – Albany. 113 individual poems were submitted by 62 poets; ultimately, 18 works of visual art were exhibited at the Art Associates Gallery & at Lark Hall in Albany, with 3 readings held in conjunction with the exhibits. This week we will hear from two of those poets - Jill Crammond and Cheryl A. Rice - who shared their work on September 28, 2022, at the Arts Associates Gallery in Albany. Local poet and photographer Dan Wilcox served as the host for the evening introducing the writers and artists.

Thom Francis welcomes poet Alina Pleskova who shared her work at a special reading sponsored by the Hudson Valley Writers Guild, Trailer Park Quarterly, and Hobo Camp Review at The Linda on August 5, 2023. Alina Pleskova is a poet, editor, and Moscow-born immigrant turned proud Philadelphian. Her first full-length collection, Toska, is now available from Deep Vellum. She co-edits bedfellows magazine and is a 2020 and 2022 Leeway Foundation grant awardee, as well as the author of the chapbook, What Urge Will Save Us (Spooky Girlfriend Press, 2017.) Her writing has appeared in American Poetry Review, swamp pink, Peach Mag, the tiny, and elsewhere. On August 5, 2023, Alina was one of the poets who, along with Rebecca Schumejda, Kenning JP Garcia, Erren Geraud Kelly, and Victorio Reyes Asili, shared their work at The Linda, WAMC's Performing Arts Studio, as part of a night of poetry and spoken word presented by the Hudson Valley Writers Guild and online literary journals Hobo Camp Review, and Trailer Park Quarterly. That night, Alina read from her recent collection of poetry, Toska. According to Deep Vellum, her publisher's website, the title of the book derives from “the Russian word which denotes a melancholic longing without a singular cause, longing for a better world than the late-stage capitalist hell we live in,”. Local poet Dan Wilcox wrote on his blog about the reading, "She is clearly the center of her poems, but in the sense of a person surrounded by images in the world, as opposed to some self-absorbed philosophical ponderings; an example would be her poem “I Forgot What I Returned For” about being in an airport on her birthday. I particularly liked this line from one of her poems “I want the class war to start but everyone is too tired;”"

April is National Poetry Month, a celebration of the art which takes place each April that was introduced in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the US. To kick off the month, I wanted to share the work of the trio of poets who laid the groundwork for much of the vibrant literary community that we have now in the region - 3 Guys from Albany 3 Guys from Albany (Tom Nattell, Charlie Rossiter, and Dan Wilcox), is a poetry performance group whose goal is to read their poetry in each of the Albanys in the U.S., are friends who share the idea that poetry should be a part of society rather than apart from it -- relevant, communicative and, above all, honest. Their poems address social issues such as the homeless, peace and war, and the environment, as well as joyful celebrations of art, love, and life. They have toured the United States since 1993 and so far they have read in 12 of the 18 Albanys in the USA. Although Tom Nattell died in January 2005, Charlie & Dan are continuing the project, along with the ever-present nudging from the spirit of Tom. In this segment, we will hear poems from all three members starting off with the great Tom Nattell's "On Constitution Avenue" that he read at the QE2 in Albany on February 24, 1995.
