Personal Journeys
Gregg Mosson
Author, Poet
As we get older, our experiences tell us more than we can plan in advance, and stories of experience replace stories of prediction. In this poetry reading and talk on April 5, 2026, G.H. Mosson will read excerpts from his new book of poems, Singing the Forge (Wasteland Press 2025), on the theme of personal journeys, including the author’s, of course, in the poem, “First Steps,” to jellyfish in “Tidal Song,” to myriad men and women in the book’s middle section of poetry. In addition, a few poems from former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky and German romantic poet, Goethe, will chime in on this theme of journeying. In the Q & A, I hope to explore this theme through discussion with you.
