We are excited to announce our featured poet for February, Joe Elliot and his students from Edward R. Murrow High School.
Joe lives with his wife, Anne Noonan, and their three boys, and teaches high school English at Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn.
Joe will be bringing some of his students with him to read their work. Scheduled to read are: Elizabeth Cloutier, Maya Henry, Ebonie Reavis, Edwin Garcia, Olu Ogunlade, and Lucille Morel (not pictured).
Joe is the author of numerous chapbooks including: You Gotta Go In It’s The Big Game, Poems To Be Centered On Much Much Larger Sheets Of Paper, 15 Clanking Radiators, 14 Knots, Reduced, Half Gross (a collaboration with artist John Koos), and Object Lesson (a collaboration with artist Rich O’Russa). Granary Books published If It Rained Here (a collaboration with artist Julie Harrison).
His work has appeared in many magazines, including The World, The Poker, Giants Play Well In The Drizzle, The Poetry Project Newsletter, Torque, Chain, Epiphany, Lungfull, Ocho, and Arras. His long poem, 101 Designs for The World Trade Center, with illustrations by Christina Strong, was published as an e-book by Faux Press.
In 2006, a collection of his work, Opposable Thumb, was published by subpress, and in 2010 Lunar Chandelier brought out Homework.
Please help us in welcoming Joe and his class to Ken Siegelman's Brooklyn Poetry Outreach.
Following the reading will be the open mic.
