Parisian Phoenix Publishing

It’s April now and that means National Poetry Month. Parisian Phoenix has three main celebrations scheduled:

• Everyday Poetry Workshop with Darrell Parry, McKenna Graf and Nancy Scott at Easton Area Public Library, Main Branch in downtown Easton, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10. All three poets will read some brief poems and offer prompts and exercises on how you can incorporate poetry into your writing practice. Register here.

• EarthWoven, an event hosted by Patchwork Storytelling Guild with support from Parisian Phoenix and WDIY Radio. Parisian Phoenix author Larry Sceurman will be one of the featured storytellers. Darrell Parry and Nancy Scott will read some poetic interludes. The event will be at the IceHouse on Sand Island in Bethlehem, Pa., at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 24. For more information of to order tickets, click here.

• And PoetPallooza 3, an annual event hosted by our friends at Noble Quills will be at Book and Puppet Company on Northampton Street in downtown Easton from 5:30 to 9 p.m., Friday April 25. Parisian Phoenix will be on site to support the performing poets and answer questions anyone has regarding book publishing.

Speaking of poems, I had a poem (“If I Left My Mom a Suicide Note”) featured in the 2025 Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group anthology, Writing a Wrong.
