Stone Soup Poetry meets every Wednesday online from 7:00-9:00 PM via Zoom. Stay tuned for updates on any future live gatherings. On May 27, our fifty-fifth anniversary month concludes with the return of old friend Susan Deer Cloud.
Susan Deer Cloud, a mixed lineage Catskill Mountain Native, is the recipient of an NEA Literature Fellowship and two New York State Foundation for the Arts Poetry Fellowships. She has been published in numerous literary journals and anthologies, and her most recent book is The Way to Rainbow Mountain. Since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, she has gone roving in South America, Europe, and Alaska (hey, “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”). She is on a quest, seeking human beings who embody the original name for her Iroquois ancestors, the Shining People. She makes pilgrimages to places whose genius loci is still powerful in a beautiful and sheltering way. During this perilous time she knows freedom can be an easy word to toss around, but she is resolved to keep making a stand for the kind that sparks soaring creativity, tenderness, and love.
