Smedley Butler was a United States Marine Corps major general, the highest rank authorized at that time. At his death, he was the most decorated Marine in the U.S. Mr. Gill will discuss the interesting facts surrounding Butler’s life including why Herbert Hoover wanted to court-martial this two-time Medal of Honor recipient.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

This free monthly event for live poetry reading at The Cup will pair flow with joe, rhythm and brews, beats and beans, and result in many a steamed stanza. I'm Miss Moth and I’ll be your Host and I have only one rule for Cuplets: Buy something from The Cup, each and every one of you, no exceptions. :) They've got espresso, coffee, chai, tea, soda, juice, and yummy food too, from bagels to sandwiches and more. That's right, support your scene with a few bucks to the venue. Don't worry about tipping me, but I'm sure the baristas would appreciate the support too. Let's keep them busy!

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR POETRY!

Cuplets is not curated, everyone is welcome to read. I know y'all are nice and will match the length of your reading to the attendance level so everyone has a chance to read. Read new work or old, rhyme or don't. If it's poetry to you, it's poetry at Cuplets!

Many thanks to the owner of The Cup, Martin George, for inviting me to create this monthly event! And a big ol' thank you to Lucian Cruor for the poetry/café word pairings above! :)

Death.
It is an universal phenomenon.
Yet we are reluctant to accept or talk about this inevitable life event at an individual, family, or community level.

Is it because Death represents the Fear of an Unknown Future?
Is it because of the profound Fear of ‘ this is the End of Me’?
Is it because of the agonizing Fear of Pain and or Suffering that can be associated with the act of Death?

However not talking about Death does not mean we can escape Death. 
Death will happen to each one of us at some point in time. 
May be not today. Maybe not in a month. Maybe 10, 20, 50 years from now. We cannot predict the time frame. But it will happen. We all will die!
In that sense, I think, it is better for us to talk about it.

The purpose of this free community series, therefore, is to bring to the forefront a seemingly difficult topic and to transform it to an insightful and “easy to engage conversation” for all living in our community.
