The Moonday poetry series will host Maja Trochimczyk and Lucia Galloway on Monday, August 8 at 7:30 p.m., at a home at 14839 Sunset. Trochimczyk, a poet, music historian and photographer, was born in Poland and now lives in Southern California. She earned her Ph.D. in musicology from McGill University and has published four books of music studies and three books of poetry: ‘Rose Always ‘ A Court Love Story,’ ‘Miriam’s Iris’ and an anthology, ‘Chopin with Cherries: A Tribute in Verse (2010).’ Trochimczyk currently serves as the sixth poet laureate of Sunland-Tujunga. Galloway is a Los Angeles-area poet transplanted from the small-town Midwest, and sees her poetry as nurtured by two cultures. She holds a master’s degree in English and American Literature from UC Berkeley and an MFA in creative writing from Antioch. Galloway is the author of ‘Venus and Other Losses’ and a chapbook, ‘Playing Outside.’ Her work has been recognized with several awards and prizes, including the Robert Haiduke Prize from the Bread Loaf School of English and a Pushcart nomination.
