Voices of a Moon Stone

Originally a side project of Robin's Bookstore, Center City's Moonstone Arts Center has developed into a full-function arts venue, providing the community with events stretching the spectrum from poetry to painting and theater to film. Tonight's edition of their ongoing poetry series features two influential black poets whose voices have helped to shape Philadelphia's growing poetry scene. Quincy Scott Jones has come a long way since his days working as a supermarket clown: His quick alliterations and passionate delivery keep audiences on the edges of their seats, stringing words together in rhyme patterns you didn't think were possible. Trapeta B. Mayson, a Liberian native who moved to Philly in the mid-'70s, speaks for the underdogs with vivid narration of the struggles of the immigrant, the woman and the person generally overlooked by mainstream society.

7 p.m., free, Moonstone Arts Center, 110A S. 13^th St., moonstoneartscenter.org
