Poems from Ward Three

An informal get-together in Josh’s shed, the Responders take turns providing prompts and convene every Friday night to share responses and constructive critique over drinks by the fire. The get-together became a pact of “at least 52 weeks,” which has been fulfilled with this reading of selections from the past year. Organically, themes of Ward Three and Gloucester weave through much of the dialog that the responses inspire. Join us and perhaps give your own response!

Joshua Scott-Fishburn loves and lives in Gloucester, loves and lives with his family, and likes the challenge of learning how to write.

Craig Plaisted has recently taken up the regular practice of writing. He lives in the same town as you, if you live in Gloucester, with his wife and two children.

Peter Murdoch has lived more or less in Massachusetts. He teaches sign and symbol correspondence after having paid his dues in the trenches of religious publicity and convalesced trimming hedges in gardens of Cape Ann.

Stevens Brosnihan is an outsider poet who works as an IT professional and artist in Gloucester MA. He lives and works at the Beacon Street Farm with his small, dear family.
