KTA Poetry and Prose Open Mic In commemoration of National Poetry Month and Yom Hashoah

This KTA Online Book talk will take place on Sunday April 23 at 2:00 PM (EST) / 11:00 AM (PT).

In commemoration of National Poetry Month and Yom Hashoah, the KTA invites all generations to share your Holocaust themed poems and prose in an "open-mic" zoom gathering at 2:00 EST, 11:00 PST, on Sunday, April 23.

Also featured will be Stewart Florsheim, poet, who will read from his "Ghosts of the Holocaust: an anthology of Poetry by the Second Generation." In the forward to the collection, Gerald Stern wrote "It is not that we will either forget or reclaim those years because of these poems, it is not that the poems will even make the past bearable. It is that, in our greatest loss, we have victory." Stewart is the son of a Holocaust survivor and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. He has been widely published in magazines and anthologies. His new collection Amusing the Angels won the Blue Light Book Award in 2022.

Please join us and share your creative thoughts regarding our unique and difficult legacy.

The Zoom meeting room will be available 10 minutes before the meeting to give everyone the opportunity to test their audio and get settled in before the conversation begins.
