Reading in DC on May 19, 2026

Back to DC . . . once again . . . to read from my new book, Singing the Forge (Wasteland Press 2025), as part of The Inner Loop reading series in the U Street neighborhood of Washington D.C. This post is updated from the scheduled March reading and now has been rescheduled to Tuesday, May 19, 2026, starting around 7pm to about 9:30pm.

I am one of several readers in a line up that mixes poetry, non-fiction, and fiction. The featured reader is Tanya Olson, event linked here. I saw her read in Baltimore about two years ago. By the way, the Inner Look monthly reading at Shaw’s Tavern seems worth checking out. The address is below at the end.

Big thanks to poet Patric Pepper as well for a Goodreads online review in January 2026 of Singing the Forge, writing: “Mosson’s poems . . . go beyond the decorative, slanting into beauty. I read Singing the Forge twice, but I can see reading it yet again.” For the write up by Kirkus Review, click here.

The tavern’s for the Inner Loop is located at:

Shaw’s Tavern

520 Florida Avenue Northwest

Washington, DC 20001

Stay chill, stay warm, stay grounded.
