Brown Green and Gold Professor of Law\, Politics\, and Political Behavior\nDepartment of Political Science  reads from his new book on John McCormack.\n\n\n\n\nBefore the house had Tip O’Neill\, there was John McCormack. How did this man\, with an eighth grade education and a false family history\, become Speaker of the House of Representatives\, and later next in line to be President of the United States? In this exhaustive political biography\, Garrison Nelson lays out every detail of the life and work of an incredibly forceful and important American politician. \nThe book details the roles McCormack played in the creation of Social Security and the passage of Lend-Lease\, Medicare and Medicaid as well as the secret funding of the atomic bomb. The book ties together relationships\, showing how this suave and secretive politician contributed to the selection of his “poker pal” Harry Truman as vice president in 1944 and in 1960\, as JFK’s named “floor manager\,” helped orchestrate Lyndon Johnson acceptance of JFK’s vice presidential invitation. This groundbreaking research examines the machinations of congress\, and also takes a close look at a critical time in US history\, as American erupted with conflicts over civil rights and the Vietnam War. The lessons learned in McCormack’s life in office still resonate with today’s political leadership\, and have an impact on the legacy of the JFK Presidency\, the role of congress\, the shape of the Democratic party\, and a powerful generation of politicians. \n\n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/garrison-nelson/ CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/garrisonnelson.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180525T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180525T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T200526 CREATED:20180521T002029Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180521T002029Z UID:8324-1527276600-1527282000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Fish Tales: Women and Children First DESCRIPTION:With stories by: \n* Brian Orr\n* Phoebe Potts\n* Cassy Bretton\n* Heather Sweet\n* Sandra Winter\n* Lilly Wandwoffen\n* Catherine Clark\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/fish-tales-women-and-children-first/ LOCATION:Cultural Center at Rocky Neck\, 6 Wonson Street\, Gloucester\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Readings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180523T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180523T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T200526 CREATED:20180325T022913Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180426T005747Z UID:8182-1527103800-1527109200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Author Sandra Williams: "Time and Tide"\, a collection of short stories DESCRIPTION:Cape Ann author Sandra Williams\, will read selections from her first collection of short stories.\nTime and Tide is an assortment of tales\, speaks of change—sometimes a long time coming\,\nsometimes in an instant\, but always inevitable. \nThe first story\, “Book of Hours\,” creates the frame for the rest of the tales.\nHelen\, an American writer living in Italy\, believes her creativity is gone forever\nas she returns to her childhood home to care for her dying mother.\nA curious encounter in a clock shop leads her to an experience of inspiration for the tales\n“like a swift\, incoming tide: surreal\, filled with beings of beauty and sadness\,\nold regrets and new life—all muddled and intertwined as in a dream.” \nSandra taught world literature\, and language arts for over twenty-five years at the high school and university levels.

From this tension—which finds form in an indeterminate subject’s relationship with a bench\, his anguished site of rest and motion—the subsequent flux at the center of the narrative voice facilitates a kind of epistemology of volition that both proves and parodies the necessity of the philosophical system for a narrator whose instability gives such exploration its emergent poetic urgency. In the wildly despairing and circular machinations that ensue\, this attempt at “thinking thinking” moves in and out of the body of the thinker it observes\, displaying a devastating picture of the paradoxes at the basis of all representation\, whether willful or inadvertent\, an aesthetic act or a causal order inferred through polemic and reasoned pursuit. Situ is Seidenberg’s signature style raised to the next level\, an accomplishment that calls to mind the literary contributions of Blanchot\, Bernhard\, and pre-impasse Beckett. \n  \nSTEVEN SEIDENBERG is the author of Situ (Black Sun Lit\, 2018)\, Null Set (Spooky Actions Books\, 2015)\, Itch (Raw Art Press\, 2014)\, and numerous chapbooks of verse and aphorism. His collection of photographs\, Pipevalve: Berlin\, was released by Lodima Press in 2017. He has had solo shows of his visual work in various galleries in the U.S.\, Asia\, and Europe. He is co-editor of the literary journal pallaksch.pallaksch. (Instance Press) and curates the False Starts reading series at The Lab in San Francisco. \n Poet and editor David Abel is the proprietor of Passages Bookshop in Portland\, Oregon. Two new books were released late in 2017: Selected Durations\, a limited-edition\, letterpress artist’s book published by the Black Rock Press at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and XIV Eclipses\, a book of poems from Couch Press in Portland; two others are forthcoming in 2018: Sequitur Her\, from press-press-pull in Portland\, and Equifinality\, from Crane’s Bill in Albuquerque. A founding member of the Spare Room reading series (now in its seventeenth year)\, he is also an occasional curator and educator\, and a consultant with the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/steven-seldenberg-david-abel/ LOCATION:Gloucester Writers Center\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, 01930 CATEGORIES:Events,Readings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180316T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180316T203000 DTSTAMP:20260425T200526 CREATED:20180304T043348Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180310T232550Z UID:8133-1521228600-1521232200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Book Release: Amanda Cook's Ironstone Whirlygig DESCRIPTION:A daybook\, a memoir\, and a serial poem\, Ironstone Whirlygig is also something else. The book began as a blog written in stolen moments–in the hours between the local closing and the sun coming up\, when children and husband are asleep and the world is quiet and still enough to allow the mind to remake the world with words. Over days and years\, a world unfolds in this book\, palpably present and haunted by absence\, a wounded world marked by time and its slow\, sure passing\, a world to love. Amanda Cook has written a book to savor\, to read and reread\, a book to live with. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/book-release-amanda-cooks-ironstone-whirlygig/ CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ironstonewhirlygig.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180309T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180309T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T200526 CREATED:20180120T202021Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180309T014401Z UID:8062-1520623800-1520629200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:POSTPONED 10 Playwrights & 10 Ten-Minute Plays.

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! \nJoshua Scott-Fishburn loves and lives in Gloucester\, loves and lives with his family\, and likes the challenge of learning how to write. \nCraig 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. \nPeter 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. \nStevens 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. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/poems-ward-three/ LOCATION:Gloucester Writers Center\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, 01930 CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ward3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180225T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180225T160000 DTSTAMP:20260425T200526 CREATED:20180120T203149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180217T202340Z UID:8066-1519567200-1519574400@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:A Celebration of Gerrit Lansing DESCRIPTION:Our friend Gerrit Lansing passed away on February 11\, two weeks shy of his 90th birthday.  We had planned a reading to celebrate the day and have moved it from the Gloucester Writers Center to the Unitarian Universalist Church on Middle Street to make room for everyone who would like to celebrate Gerrit’s life on his birthday. \n  \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/celebration-gerrit-lansings-90th-birthday/ LOCATION:Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church\, 10 Church Street\, Gloucester \, MA\, 01930\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2922.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180216T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180216T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T200526 CREATED:20180120T202444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180212T184725Z UID:8064-1518809400-1518814800@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Rory O'Connor's Tales From Another Place.
