Mentor & Mentored with JT Barbarese, Nissa Lee & Laura Bernstein

Moonstone Poetry Series Presents Mentor and Mentored

An intergenerational poetry series that presents both the mentor and the mentored: how does poetry travel from generation to generation, what are the themes, the sounds, what changes and what stays the same. Filmed with a live audience at the PhillyCAM Studio, the program will be edited and broadcast.

  1. I’m so impressed by the quality of the content on this blog – it’s really well researched and thought out.

  2. Unquestionably believe that which you said.
    Your favourite reason seemed to be on the internet the easiest factor to
    consider of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while
    other people consider issues that they just don’t recognize about.

    You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire
    thing with no need side-effects , other folks could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thank you

  3. First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to
    ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out
    how you center yourself and clear your head before
    writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how
    to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thank you!
