The March 12 Second Sunday Poetry Reading at Princeton Makes Artist Cooperative in the Princeton Shopping Center welcomes guest writers Liz Chang and Bernadette McBride.
Chang’s poems have appeared in Verse Daily, Exit 7, Breakwater Review, Stoneboat Literary Journal, and other literary publications. The 2012 Poet Laureate of Montgomery County and visiting creative writer at Moravian University, both in Pennsylvania, will also see her chapbook “Museum of Things” published in 2023 by Finishing Line Press.
McBride is the author of four full-length poetry collections, past poetry editor for the Schuylkill Valley Journal, and a former creative writing instructor at Temple University. She is the recipient of the International Ray Bradbury Award and is a Pennsylvania Poet Laureate Emerita for Bucks County.
Here are examples of their work:
