Absecon Island Poets

7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Brigantine Branch
Brigantine Meeting Room
Open to adults. Registration required.
Join us this Poetry Month for a reading from local poets Joel Dias-Porter and Peter Murphy.  

Peter E. Murphy's most recent book, Once Upon a Time You Lived in a Castle, a memoir about growing up in Wales and New York City, is forthcoming from Toplight Books. He is the founder of Murphy Writing of Stockton University in Atlantic City where he runs workshops for writers and teachers in the US and abroad.

Joel Dias-Porter, a resident of Atlantic City, is self-unemployed but is rumored to gamble for a living. In his recent book, Ideas of Improvisation, Joel Dias Porter interrogates how the I & the I of the imaginary can appear perpendicular to the axis of the real. In addition to the expected body of words, Joel Dias-Porter improvises on the idea of the lyric by marooning text to create ghost poems that float above the page and add a new haiku-like dimension. Like the rook in brook, in Ideas of Improvisation we hear how Dias-Porter, a neurodiverse technician of the text, reformulates form to navigate the spectrum of possibility.
