Andrea Cohen and DeWitt Henry at the Plough and Stars, March 3, 2024

I had a swell time attending a poetry reading yesterday with my friend Karen Klein at the Plough and Stars in Central Square, Cambridge, where we heard Andrea Cohen and DeWitt Henry.

Karen and I sat with and enjoyed a lovely conversation with the establishment’s former owner, Peter O’Malley. The Plough and Stars has an amazing history. Over the years it’s been the hangout for Irish blue collar workers, Nobel Laureates and other famous individuals.
