Inner Moonlight is the monthly poetry series for the Wild Detectives! Our show is the second Wednesday of every month. Meet us in the backyard at 7:30pm on Wednesday July 10th for a live reading from one featured writer, with a brief open mic to follow. Don’t worry, podcast fans! We will record the live show and release it as a podcast episode for y’all. This month, we are proud to present poet Clara Bush Vadala!

Clara Bush Vadala is a poet and veterinarian from Van Alstyne, Texas. In her work she explores the human animal bond, its various spiritual and spooky qualities and how this relates to life as a veterinarian, mother, and woman. Her chapbook (copies available for purchase at the event), Book of Altars was released this year from Belle Point Press, and her full-length collection, Resembling A Wild Animal will be released later this year from ELJ Editions.

“Follow your inner moonlight, don’t hide the madness.”
—Allen Ginsberg, from On Being a Write
