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:20260425T210519 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:20260425T210519 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.

ImagesSingulières SÈTE #17 DESCRIPTION:French poet and native Sétois Paul Valéry referred to Sète as “L’ile Singulière\,” the remarkable island.

New Wave filmmaker Agnès Varda directed her debut film La Pointe Courte in a Sétois fishing neighborhood of the same name. \nIn 2016\, Gloucester photographer Anne Rearick was awarded an artist residency photographing life and culture in Sète. Her five-week sojourn culminated in the publication of her third monograph\, Sète 17. Rearick will speak at the Gloucester Writer’s Center about her process\, the pictures\, and the people (and octopuses) she met along the way. \n  \nBorn in Idaho in 1960\, Anne Rearick‘s humanist vision is documentary in nature\, but also uniquely personal. Rearick works on long term projects\, photographing over the course of years\, and in doing so\, deepens relationships and her understanding of people and place. \nRearick received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1990 and has worked as a photographer and teacher for the past 25 years. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants\, most notably a Guggenheim fellowship to photograph the culture of amateur boxing\, the European Mosaique prize to explore rural communities of Italy and Scotland\, a Fulbright fellowship to France and two Mass Cultural Council grants. \nThree monographs of Rearick’s work have been published: Miresicoletea\, on rural life and culture in the French Basque country in 2003\, Township\, an exploration of post-apartheid South Africa\, and Sète 17\, a collection of photographs from her artist residency in the French Mediterranean port of the same name. Public collections include the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris\, the Centre Nationale de L’Audiovisuel in Luxembourg\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Rearick is distributed internationally by Agence Vu and represented by Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière\, Paris. \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/anne-rearick-imagessingulieres-sete-17/ CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Se_teRearick20s1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180427T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180427T220000 DTSTAMP:20260425T210520 CREATED:20180325T012832Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180425T135730Z UID:8173-1524855600-1524866400@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:10-Minute Plays Staged Reading DESCRIPTION:Share 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/10-minute-plays-staged-reading-5/ LOCATION:Cultural Center at Rocky Neck\, 6 Wonson Street\, Gloucester\, United States CATEGORIES:big event,Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/10minuteplaystagereaingdatechange.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180425T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180425T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T210520 CREATED:20171107T151732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180423T193223Z UID:7986-1524684600-1524690000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Joan Houlihan and Fred Marchant DESCRIPTION:Joan Houlihan will be reading poems from her newly-published book\, Shadow-feast\, from Four Way Books. \nHoulihan is the author of four other books of poetry: Hand-Held Executions: Poems & Essays (2003); The Mending Worm\, (which received the 2006 Green Rose Award from New Issues Press); The Us (2009)\, which received a Must Read distinction from the Massachusetts Center for the Book; and Ay (2014)\, a sequel to The Us\, both from Tupelo Press. \nShe currently serves on the faculty of Lesley University’s Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing Program in Cambridge\, Massachusetts and is Professor of Practice at Clark University in Worcester\, Massachusetts.
