I’ll be reading some of my short fiction at Bridget Seley Galway’s Painting Exhibition on March 30, 2024 in Somerville!
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.
Most days when the Bagel Bards meet, we reserve a block of time to read our works to the group. The works range from poetry, flash fiction, to non-fiction.
I read my unpublished flash piece entitled “Don Juan.” It was well-received. I was flattered by the fact that several asked me if it was a true story!
Shown here: Karen Klein reading one of her poems.
Come by the Watertown Arts Market on August 19, 2023 in Filippello Park, East Watertown (near Grove Street and Coolidge Avenue) and hear local Watertown poets and writers read. In addition to readings, several authors will have their books for sale. There will also be arts & crafts on display by local artisans.
