Visiting Poets: Mihaela Moscaliuc and Michael Waters

Celebrated poets Mihaela Moscaliuc and Michael Waters join the Frenchtown Bookshop for a Thanksgiving-time reading from the new Everyman's Library Pocket Poets collection they co-edited, "Fruits of the Earth: Harvest Poems."

The anthology brings together harvest-themed poems from poets both contemporary (Ross Gay, Paul Muldoon, Rita Dove, and Michael Ondaatje) and classic (Pablo Neruda, Seamus Heaney, William Carlos Williams, and Sylvia Plath). It is the latest in the beautiful and giftable Everyman's Library Pocket Poets series, each bound in a gorgeously-illustrated full-cloth cover with a silk ribbon marker and gold stamping.

Mihaela Moscaliuc is a poet and translator whose "radiant and visionary" (Pleiades Magazine) poetry has won two Pushcart Prizes, a Fulbright fellowship, and a Guggenheim "genius" grant. Michael Waters' fourteen published books of poetry "delight in wit and wordplay" (Gettysburg Review). His honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Fulbright Foundation, and five Pushcart Prizes.

Free and all are welcome. 

A warm evening of harvest-themed poetry -- with apple cider donuts and hot cider after the reading -- Tuesday at the Frenchtown Bookshop.
