We are excited to present Mike Soto and Boris Tsessarsky for the first Inner Moonlight of 2020! Brief open mic to follow, so bring a poem to share.

He has awarded the James Merrill Poetry Fellowship by Vermont Studio Center in 2019, and his work has recently appeared in Shenandoah, Poetry Northwest, The Carolina Quarterly, and Birdfeast. His debut book-length poetry collection, A Grave Is Given Supper, will be published by Deep Vellum in the Summer of 2020.
Boris Tsessarsky is a writer and a filmmaker. His short films have screened at various film festivals, including the 2017 New York City Chain Film Festival where Boris was awarded Best Director of a Short Documentary for his film, King’s Highway: the Story of Malcolm Fairfield. He has also published his short fiction in Lunch Ticket, Bare Fiction, and Folio. Boris teaches first-year writing at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey.
Inner Moonlight is the second Wednesday of every month. Mark your calendar and we’ll see you there!
