ImagesSingulières SÈTE #17 DESCRIPTION:French poet and native Sétois Paul Valéry referred to Sète as “L’ile Singulière\,” the remarkable island. George Brassens\, popular singer/songwriter and poet also drew inspiration from this Mediterranean port city and its inhabitants. 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:20260426T005830 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:20260426T005830 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.

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:20260426T005830 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:20260426T005830 CREATED:20180120T202021Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180309T014401Z UID:8062-1520623800-1520629200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:POSTPONED 10 Playwrights & 10 Ten-Minute Plays.

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! \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:20260426T005830 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:20260426T005830 CREATED:20180120T202444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180212T184725Z UID:8064-1518809400-1518814800@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Rory O'Connor's Tales From Another Place.

It deals with the art and craft of translating the novels of Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969)\, an avant-garde Polish writer\, allegedly a nominee for the 1967 Nobel Prize for Literature. \nSince she is not a native speaker of English\, she interweaves her memoir with her life with her former husband\, Thom Lane\, a native speaker of American English. He becomes an excellent assistant in this work\, and an admirer of the Gombrowicz’s style and ideas. Borchardt spares few details of the couple’s life together (and apart\, as the story evolves)\, which include adventures\, excitement and heart-break. \nBorchardt’s interview with John Ronan on Writer’s Block\, about the memoir\, will be aired on Cape Ann TV on November 16 and November 23\, 2017. \n  \nDanuta Borchardt is a Polish-born\, retired psychiatrist\, now a writer of fiction and non-fiction\, and a translator of Polish literature. She won awards\, and a PEN nomination\, for her translations of the novels by Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969). She also published a translation of poems by C. Norwid’s (1821-1883). She has recently completed a translation of a collection of sea stories by her father\, K. O. Borchardt\, (1905-1986). \nShe is currently participating in a joint translation of scholarly writings by the Polish educator Janusz Korczak (1878-1942)\, martyred by German Nazis when they invaded Poland in 1939. \nHer non-fiction\, a memoir entitled Life behind an Author’s Works—Memoir of a Translator\, is now available on Amazon.com. \nShe has lived in the US since 1959 and in Gloucester since 1965. \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/danuta-borchardt/ CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/danuta.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20171127T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20171127T180000 DTSTAMP:20260426T005830 CREATED:20171021T125207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171024T143243Z UID:7950-1511802000-1511805600@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:NanNoWriMo Workshop for Young Adults: Wrapping It Up DESCRIPTION:Be a part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)!  The Sawyer Free Library and the Gloucester Writers Center invite all young adults to a series of workshops to help with the process\, culminating in an open-mic style reading at the Gloucester Writers Center. \n  \nWe will meet Mondays in the Young Adult section of the library from 5-6. \n  \nMonday\, November 27: Wrapping It Up \nYou have been writing all month.
