Lisbeth Coiman is a warrior of internal battles and a trekker the intersecting paths she has taken in her immigration journey. Venezuelan born, Canadian by choice, American by force majeure, Coiman is a bilingual poet and writer standing unbalanced on a blurred line between fiction and memoir. She started publishing in 2017 with her debut book, I Asked the Blue Heron: Memoir and is now on her third book, Parchita, Passion Poetry, coming up next year with World Stage Press.
Gustavo Hernandez is the author of the poetry collectionFlower Grand First (Moon Tide Press). His poems have been published in Reed, Acentos Review, Sonora Review and other publications. He was born in Jalisco, Mexico and lives in Southern California.
Poetry Open Mic Guidelines: You could read up to two poems at the Open Mic. They can be poems by you or by other poets you respect. Although we want to hear from you, this is not a space to promote your wine company's social media. You are encouraged to be creative about your language, but racism, bigotry, and sexism are not allowed.
Consider using the below writing prompt.
Write a poem, using an anaphora. Start all of the sentences with the same three- five words. Focus on one moment in time. What were you doing? What were you seeing? Hearing? Touching? What is the same? What is different?
Here are some virtual poetry events for you to consider:
Cobalt Presents- Every Tuesday at 7:30 pm
Two Idiots Peddling Poetry- Every Wednesday at 8 pm
