SUMMARY:Author Signing Hartford’s Emeritus Poet Laureate\, Frederick-Douglass Knowles II
DESCRIPTION:Hartford’s Emeritus Poet Laureate\, Frederick-Douglass Knowles II\, will share from his new book\, “Sinking in Moonlight Alone” on Saturday\, October 24th at 6PM. Please come out and show this brother some love! \nAbout the book:\nWhat happens when a loved one dies? \nWhat are the final words longed to be said that would aid in the healing process? \nWhat moments would a mourner wish to relive with a loved one? \nSinking in Moonlight Alone accounts the lives of kindred spirits encountering loss. \nCommunal toil with mental health\, addiction\, family\, friends and desolate decision-making amounting to death are captured in this collection of elegiac verse. \nFrederick-Douglass Knowles II laments the lives of loved ones lost while reserving space for collective grievance. \nCulturally\, western society only allots a limited space to sojourn the magnitude of grievance. \nKnowles memorializes members of his small-town communities of Southeastern Connecticut in this confessional empathetic narrative that recounts: the first time he visited his father’s Korean War grave; watching the Super Bowl with his mother on the last day of her life; querying the mysterious drowning of a friend ruled a suicide; confronting the pharmaceutical industry over the loss of his nephew to opioid addiction. \nThis collection unearths a tempest of emotionality that is most often buried beneath the soil of remorse that flowers the garden of the forgotten. \nAbout the Author:\nFrederick-Douglass Knowles II is a Professor of English at CT State Community College. He is an Emeritus Poet Laureate of Hartford\, CT. Knowles has received the Nutmeg Poetry Award and the Connecticut of The Arts Fellow in Artist Excellence for Poetry/ Creative Non-Fiction. He is a three-time Pushcart Prize nominee. He has collaborated with the Kennedy Center and National Public Radio. Knowles is the author of BlackRoseCity.

SUMMARY:Felicia & Kalliope Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Felicia Madison is an accomplished stand-up comedian\, writer\, producer\, and Creative Director of West Side Comedy Club in New York City. Her comedy special\, Better Than Sex\, is available on Apple TV\, Amazon\, and YouTube\, and she was featured on ABC’s America’s Funniest People. Her one-woman show\, The Miserable Mrs. Madison\, debuted at the Fringe Festival\, and she is currently developing her next special\, Queenager. Throughout her career\, she has shared the stage with some of comedy’s biggest names\, including Zarna Garg\, Jessica Kirson\, Rachel Feinstein\, T.J. Miller\, Bill Burr\, Elon Gold\, Modi\, Jordan Carlos\, and many others. \nAs a child\, Felicia dreamed of becoming a Broadway dancer\, but her parents had other plans. Encouraged to pursue a more traditional career\, she attended the University of Pennsylvania as a pre-med student. Although she followed the practical path\, the performer in her never disappeared. After raising her family and with her children beginning to leave the nest\, Felicia found herself searching for what came next. While exploring new interests\, a friend convinced her to try a stand-up comedy class. She reluctantly agreed\, walked on stage for the first time\, and instantly fell in love. What began as a chance experience quickly became the career she had been waiting for all along. She took the leap into stand-up comedy and proved that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. \nThat same passion for discovering potential extends beyond the stage. As Creative Director of West Side Comedy Club\, Felicia has helped grow one of New York City’s premier comedy venues while mentoring and developing the next generation of comedians through New York Comedy Classes. She believes comedy is a craft that can be taught\, nurtured\, and refined\, and she is passionate about creating opportunities for new voices to find their confidence and their audience. \nToday\, Felicia performs regularly throughout New York and across the country while continuing to write and develop new projects\, including her upcoming special\, Queenager. When she’s not on stage or at the club\, she’s happily embracing her newest role as a devoted dog mom to Milo\, her lovable Cavapoo\, who has quickly become the true star of the household. \nSocial \nInstagram @FeliciaMadisonComedian \nYouTube @FeliciaMadisonComedian \nKalliope Barlis is a New York City stand-up comedian\, former professional golfer\, and three-time best-selling author. She headlines a monthly show at West Side Comedy Club and plays clubs and festivals up and down the East Coast. Her clean\, story-driven act turns hard moments — a loud Greek family dinner\, a blown tournament\, a fear nobody says out loud — into the kind of laugh that actually fixes something.
