Viewless Wings Live, which organizes virtual and in-person poetry readings and open mics, hosted Poets at the Mic – a YouTube Live reading and discussion on Thursday Aug 25 (4pm PST / 7pm EST) with poets James Morehead (Poet Laureate – Dublin, CA and author of canvas and portraits of red and gray), Caitlin Conlon (poet and author of The Surrender Theory) and Morgan Liphart (poet and author of Barefoot & Running). The event included a mix of poetry readings and discussion, and live questions. A replay is available below:
James Morehead is Poet Laureate of Dublin, California. James has published two collections of poetry: “canvas” and “portraits of red and gray”. James’ poem “tethered” was transformed into an award-winning hand drawn animated short film, “gallery” was set to music for baritone and piano, and his poems have appeared in Beyond Words Magazine, Wingless Dreamer, Prometheus Dreaming, Quillkeepers Press, and others. He also hosts the Viewless Wings Poetry Podcast which features interviews with poets and artists. “In this second collection of poems, James Morehead’s imagery is vivid, spare and elemental, and it is consistently chosen and arranged to achieve intensely poetic effects. The rhythmic control is impeccable.” – Carmine Di Biase, Distinguished Professor of English, Emeritus – Jacksonville State University
