Poetry Reading with Joan Logghe and Miriam Sagan, Followed by a Writing Workshop with Joan Logghe

NMJHS and Temple Beth Shalom of Santa Fe are co-sponsoring what promises to be an exciting two-part event: Free Poetry Reading with Joan Logghe and Miriam Sagan followed by a Writing Workshop (Suggested Donation) led by Joan Logghe.

Join us at Temple Beth Shalom (205 East Barcelona) for the Poetry Reading from 1:30 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. followed by a pre-registration only workshop, from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m.

Poetry Reading: Join poets Miriam Sagan and Joan Logghe for a spirited reading of works with a Jewish theme. Both poets are active in the Santa Fe’s literary scene and co-edited the anthology Another Desert: Jewish Poetry of New Mexico (Sherman Asher Publishing). They will read from this collection plus more recent poems.

Writing Workshop: The Blue Tortilla Moon: Writing your Jewish New Mexican Self.

Writings from our Jewish roots, Joan Logghe will present readings to inspire your own memories, stories, and gifts of Jewish culture that your family keeps alive. Food, Festivals, and family are a tripod of Jewish life, and we will touch on all three.

Joan Logghe was Santa Fe’s third Poet Laureate, serving from 2010-2012. She has taught everywhere and to all ages, from Santa Fe Community College and Ghost Ranch, to Zagreb, Croatia and Bratislava. Winner of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in poetry and co-founder of Tres Chicas Books, her latest publications are The Singing Bowl (University of New Mexico Press), and editing Odes & Offerings (Sunstone Press), Joan’s final project as Poet Laureate.
