May 11: An Evening of Poetry With Stonecoast Review

With the success of last year's Stonecoast Review release party, Lo Galluccio and the University of Southern Maine team up with Stone Soup Poetry as the Stone Soup Stagecoach makes it's way back to the Dudley Cafe. A new issue of Stonecoast Review will be celebrated, and three new poets will feature. Welcome Tim Hall, Vanesa Pacheco and Richard Hoffman as the main readers in May. There will also be an open mic before the featured readers. It's another night in Roxbury that shouldn't be missed. Special thanks to the Dudley for making this happen again. Come in early and order food and beverage from them to show your appreciation.

An Interview with Joseph Skoot Mosby

A short Q and A with one of the performers for the Dudley Cafe event this weekend.

Something I'm going to ask more poets: Do you come from a family that supported or even understood poetry prior to you getting into it?

My family didn’t understand why I was doing poetry, but they did accept it as a hobby.

Who was it that made you want to be a poet? Was it a specific author? A performer you saw live or on YouTube?

I have a professor at Roxbury Community College who told me that I had the perfect influence for poetry. He said he could sense something called the dragon in me. He had me perform one time, and I just fell in love with it since my favorite artist was Black Ice. At that time I had seen a ton of YouTube videos of him and fell in love with the stage.

I attended a college where the poetry scene among students just wasn't there. It had to be built (or re-built) from the ground up. What is the scene like in Roxbury Community College?
