Every first Sunday of the month, I’ll be drinking poetry with amazing poets. I started hosting Poetrio events with Malaprop’s in the Fall of 2019, but halted when COVID-19 prevented us from communing in-person. I am delighted to resume online, and this platform has the benefits of bringing lovers of poetry from across the world into the same virtual space.
Here I present our first brilliant readers: Kathy Goodkin, author of Crybaby Bridge–winner of the Moon City Poetry Award (Moon City Press, 2019), and Sleep Paralysis (dancing girl press, 2017). Kathy’s poems and reviews have appeared in Field, Denver Quarterly, Cream City Review, RHINO, Redivider, The Volta, and elsewhere. She has served as an editor for feminist publisher Gazing Grain Press and a manuscript consultant for the North Carolina Writer’s Network and resides in N.C.
Eric Tran, author of The Gutter Spread Guide to Prayer–winner of the Autumn House Press Emerging Writer’s contest, 2019. Eric is a queer Vietnamese writer and a resident physician in psychiatry in Asheville, NC, where he is also an associate editor at Orison Books. His publications include two chapbooks: Revisions and Affairs with Men in Suits. His work has been featured in Poetry Daily and Best of the Net and appears or is forthcoming in Pleiades, Iowa Review, 32 Poems, and elsewhere.
Lesley Wheeler, author of The State She’s In–her fifth poetry collection (Tinderbox Editions, 2020). Lesley’s poems and essays appear in The Common, Ecotone, Gettysburg Review, Cimarron Review, Crazyhorse, Subtropics, Massachusetts Review, and many other journals. She is Poetry Editor of Shenandoah and The Henry S. Fox Professor of English at Washington and Lee University. She lives in Lexington, Virginia.
