Kevin Gallagher’s poems are excavations and reclamations of difficult American history\, elucidating prismatically the voices and sites of collusion in and resistance to the construction of our nation’s greatest institutions and our nation’s most awful crimes. \n-Danielle Legros Georges\, poet laureate of Boston \n  \n“Kevin Gallagher\, in his new book Loom\, searches through these Massachusetts mill roots and unmasks the little-known unholy alliance between capitalists of the North and slavers of the South. Gallagher does this by resurrecting a public genre of narrative poetry and then uses it to impart prosaic information (in this case history) with an effective didactic force. Aside from mnemonic considerations\, verse employed in this way by a skilled poet can effectively direct emphasis and insert emotion like no prose piece can. And Gallagher is nothing if not a skilled poet.” \n– Doug Holder\, Boston Area Small Press and Poetry Scene \nRead the full LOOM review here. \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/ryan-gallagher/ LOCATION:Gloucester Writers Center\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, 01930 CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-11-14-at-11.26.59-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20161109T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161109T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T113858 CREATED:20160830T143855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161101T141938Z UID:6979-1478719800-1478725200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Sage Walcott and Jim Seavey DESCRIPTION:Jim Seavey\, a Cape Ann native\, has been writing poetry since the mid\nsixties\, publishing occasionally\, including in 'Living Proof' by North\nShore Writers Worshop.

Inez’s family threatens to fragment when her father gets arrested for\nsmuggling marijuana into the U.S. The old ways cherished by her beloved Mexican\ngrandmother offer refuge from the turmoil. But life in El Paso is far more\nexciting\, as mini-skirts\, rock music\, and the sexual revolution shatter tradition\non both sides of the border. Poised between two countries and hovering at the\ndivide of childhood and womanhood\, Inez must choose whether to make the dangerous\nleap her parents never quite made\, the leap faced by every new American: letting\ngo of the old country to embrace a new destiny in the United States.\n\nJohn Sayles\, filmmaker\, author\, and MacArthur Fellow\, says\, “Marta Elva pulls us\ninto the minds of a half-dozen members of a border family in crisis\, dramatizing\nthe state of living ni aqui\, ni alla—neither here nor there geographically and\nemotionally. A moving first novel.”\n\nMarta Elva [Gibbons] was born in Ciudad Juárez\, Mexico\, and raised in El Paso\,\nTexas. Marta lived in Gloucester before moving to New York. Her career as a\nwriter\, producer\, editor\, and camera operator in television and independent film\nspans over three decades and includes several Emmy-nominated shows\, notably PBS\nWNET New York’s\, Setting the Stage. She and her husband live on Florida’s Gulf\nCoast.\n\n http://circlingrivers.com/home/american-tumbleweeds/\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/marta-gibbons/ LOCATION:Cultural Center at Rocky Neck\, 6 Wonson Street\, Gloucester\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/MartaElva_1601_400dpi_cropped-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160801T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160801T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T113858 CREATED:20160112T141308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160112T141308Z UID:6037-1470079800-1470085200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Open Mic DESCRIPTION:Bring your words.  Get heard! \n  \nEach reader gets five minutes.  Sign up at the door. \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/open-mic-14-2016-08-01/ LOCATION:Open Mic\, MA CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/openmicgeneral.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20160727T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20160727T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T113858 CREATED:20160513T112552Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160722T160948Z UID:6714-1469647800-1469653200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Stephen Dunn and Larry Raab DESCRIPTION:July 27th 7:30pm\nCultural Center at Rocky Neck\nGloucester Writers Center Presents\nStephen Dunn & Lawrence Raab\n\n\nStephen Dunn is the author of 18 collections of poetry\, the most recent of which is\nLINES OF DEFENSE (Norton)\, and a chapbook KEEPER OF LIMITS: The Mrs. Cavendish Poems\n(Sarabande).
