Pi Poetry Series
Presents
Pat Mottola and Bill E
Wednesday, January 15, 2020
Pat Mottola teaches Creative Writing at Southern Connecticut State University, where she earned both an M.S. in Art Education and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing. In addition to working with students at S.C.S.U., she is thrilled to teach both art and poetry to senior citizens throughout Connecticut. Her work is published in journals across the country, including War, Literature & the Arts, Connecticut Review, Main Street Rag, San Pedro River Review, VietNow Magazine, and Paterson Literary Review, among others. She is the winner of the prestigious 2019 CSU Board of Regents Outstanding Teaching Award. On a global scale, she has mentored Afghan women writers living in Afghanistan through the Afghan Women’s Writing Project. Pat served as editor of Connecticut River Review from 2012-2017 and is currently Co-President of the Connecticut Poetry Society. She is the author of two collections of poetry, Under the Red Dress and After Hours.
Bill E is a poet who uses conventional poetic techniques, such as rhyme and alliteration, and at the same time shatters many conventions. In doing so, he creates his own unique and dynamic style.
With these two vastly different poets, Pi continues our long established practice of presenting high quality poetry experiences that explore far reaches of the creative poetry universe.
On the third Wednesday of each month, The Poetry Institute Poetry Series celebrates an eclectic mix of poetic voices. Free. Refreshments. (And participants are invited to bring something to share.) Open mic. Outstanding featured readers. In a casual setting. Open to all members of the public (and even others).
