SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Reading Series: Jeff Alessandrelli
DESCRIPTION:The free monthly Nebraska Poets Reading Series highlights the talent of Nebraska poets and invites discussion with audience members. All events are free online\, but registration is required to receive an event link. Registration links for each poet’s event and additional details about each poet are available on the Nebraska Poetry Society’s website. \nJeff’s poetry interrogates how deep senselessness runs in a post-truth and truthiness world. \nJeff Alessandrelli is most recently the author of the book And Yet (Future Tense Books\, 2024). The Kenyon Review called his 2019 poetry collection Fur Not Light an “example of radical humility…its poems enact a quiet but persistent empathy in the world of creative writing.” Recent work by Alessandrelli appears or is forthcoming in The American Poetry Review\, Chicago Review\, and Buckmxn Journal. In addition to his writing Jeff also directs the nonprofit book press/record label Fonograf Editions.

SUMMARY:Salon Reading Series: "Chiaroscuro" @ Eastmont Living
DESCRIPTION:Each Salon Reading Series event features a reading of a play followed by a moderated discussion of the play’s themes and how these themes apply to the community. The theme for 2024-25 is “Hold On.” This theme will explore concepts of holding on and letting go. \nThe Salon Reading Series is free and open to the public\, with two readings each week: \n\nthe first on Sunday afternoon at 2pm in the Turbine Flats Resonator Gallery at 2124 Y St\nthe second on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm  in the Eastmont Living’s theater space at 6315 O St in Lincoln.\n\nChiaroscuro\nBy Brian Bornstein\nMichelangelo Merisi\, a leading artist of his time\, was neglected for several centuries before gaining renewed appreciation. Known now as Caravaggio\, he is regarded as one of the most talented and influential painters of the late Renaissance\, whose chiaroscuro style continues to be taught and copied. Through an exploration of Caravaggio’s life and work\, the play examines the nature of genius\, the role of the media\, and the relation of art to celebrity and madness.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Kiara Nicole Letcher
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nWriting from out of the ordinary in an exploration in peculiar poetry. In this workshop\, we will look at poems that deal with the supernatural — poems that peer beyond the veil and utilize a supernatural element. From Poe\, Keats\, Lorca\, and Rossetti\, among others\, we will explore these poems and what they say about the seen and unseen world. Through these works\, we’ll consider how the supernatural in poetry reflects deep-seated human questions about mortality\, reality\, and the limits of human understanding. By reading and discussing these pieces\, participants will engage with how different eras and cultures have expressed universal themes of fear\, mystery\, and fascination with the unknown. Participants will have the opportunity to ruminate and investigate poems of the paranormal\, gaining insights into how these eerie elements serve as a window into humanity’s beliefs and values. They will also craft their own poems with a twist of the eerie\, adding to a long-standing tradition of poetic exploration that bridges the tangible and intangible aspects of human experience. \nKIARA NICOLE LETCHER is the author of Oxblood\, (Agape Editions\, 2024) and the chapbook Scream Queen (Orchard Street Press\, 2019). Her work has appeared in South Dakota Review\, Green Mountains Review\, Plainsongs Magazine\, Solstice Literary Magazine\, Querencia Press and Mulberry Literary\, among other publications. Her work is also forthcoming in Laurel Review.      She received her MFA from The University of Nebraska at Omaha and previously served as a Board Member for the Nebraska Writer’s Collective. She was the 2024 Keynote Speaker for the Nebraska Scholastic Writing Awards and a Nebraska State Poet Nominee.
