Inner Moonlight

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 August 14th 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 R. Flowers Rivera!

R. Flowers Rivera is native of Mississippi; she completed a Ph.D. at Binghamton University and an M.A. at Hollins University. She is the author of award-winning poetry collections Troubling Accents (Xavier Review Press 2013) and Heathen (Wayne State University Press 2015). She is a Callaloo and Idyllwild fellow.

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