Young Writers’ Evening at Tmol Shilshom
Since my first poetry slam, I’ve been getting busy with poetry, doing more readings this year than ever before, EVER. This event is from June 3, 2013 at Tmol Shilshom, a bookstore cafe restaurant in Jerusalem, made famous for being a place where “Israel’s best known writers read from their works.” These days, it isContinue reading “Young Writers’ Evening at Tmol Shilshom”
See For Yourself~Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary Videos
It took me a while, perhaps too long, but I have still abided by my old rule of sharing “before the next event,” which will be next Monday, June 24th. Instead of telling you how it was, I’m just going to let you listen for yourself. It’ll be almost like you didn’t miss a thing.Continue reading “See For Yourself~Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary Videos”
Poets of Babel’s Rebirth: 1 Year Anniversary at the Jerusalem Cinematheque and Beyond
Poets of Babel is metamorphosing into a larger, less familiar creature. It started in my home with only two rules: (1) Read in any language as long as there was someone who understood (bring a friend!) and (2) Everyone participates. I had to break rule number one very early on. Sometimes there was only oneContinue reading “Poets of Babel’s Rebirth: 1 Year Anniversary at the Jerusalem Cinematheque and Beyond”
“Future Perfect,” My First Poetry Slam
About a month ago, I did my first poetry slam and first spoken word performance on stage. I was petrified from the moment I agreed to do it…but I knew that I had to. I’ve wanted to for so long. And even after actually doing it and feeling like I could do it again andContinue reading ““Future Perfect,” My First Poetry Slam”

“In Media Res” or a ModPoetic Collage: On a Vision, a Course, a Liberation, a Block, and a “Way” to “Eunoia”
*(Note to reader: This entire piece is an experiment. It is an exercise in “how,” that is, it’s not so much what I am saying but how I am saying it. I try to explain what ModPo has taught me by using it, drawing on elements from proto-modernism, the edge of modernist poetics, found language, spontaneous prose,Continue reading ““In Media Res” or a ModPoetic Collage: On a Vision, a Course, a Liberation, a Block, and a “Way” to “Eunoia””
“The Way” ModPo Changed My Facebook Posts
The Modern and Contemporary Poetry Course, better known as ModPo, led by Prof. Al Filreis and his enlightened TA team, from the University of Pennsylvania, started September 10, 2012. Since beginning the course, not only have I become obsessed with it (I’ve been ‘squeezing’ it in everywhere as Prof. Filreis extolled us to do inContinue reading ““The Way” ModPo Changed My Facebook Posts”
