(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Princeton Makes, a Princeton-based artist cooperative, and Ragged Sky Press, a local publisher focused on poetry, will host a Second Sunday Poetry Reading on Sunday, May 14 at 4:00pm. The readings will take place at the Princeton Makes store in the Princeton Shopping Center.
The May reading will feature Victoria Stitt, Rebecca Findlay, and Meghan Sterling. Their readings will be followed by an open mic available to up to 10 audience members who would like to read their original poetry.
Victoria Stitt’s poems have been nominated for Best of the Net and have appeared or are forthcoming in Poetry Daily, the Michigan Quarterly Review, The Carolina Quarterly, and others. Stitt was awarded a Vermont Studio Center residency and earned an MFA in creative writing from Warren Wilson College. A Philadelphia native, Stitt teaches English in New Jersey and aims to instill in their students a love for writing.
Rebecca Findlay is a queer poet, teacher, and translator. A military brat, she’s moved twenty-three times and isn’t quite sure what home means, but she currently lives in central New Jersey with her partner and two dogs, Djuna Bloom and Oberon. She received her MFA in Poetry from the Bennington Writing Seminars. Her work has been published in The Bread Loaf Journal, The Conestoga Review, and The End of the World.
Meghan Sterling (she, her, hers) lives in Maine. Her work has been nominated for a number of Pushcarts, is forthcoming in The Los Angeles Review, Rhino Poetry, Nelle, Poetry South, and many others. These Few Seeds (Terrapin Books, 2021) was an Eric Hoffer Grand Prize Finalist. Self-Portrait with Ghosts of the Diaspora (Harbor Editions), Comfort the Mourners (Everybody Press) and View from a Borrowed Field (Lily Poetry Review’s Paul Nemser Book Prize) are all forthcoming in 2023.
