Her new book Merry Hell has just been released from Atelos. Her previous book\, All Revolutions Will Be Fabulous\, was released by Printing Press in 2014. Sara has performed her work widely\, including at The Berkeley Art Museum\, Grace Cathedral\, LitQuake\, and at Multifarious Array in NYC. Over the course of two years\, she and David Brazil published more than 60 issues of the seminal literary zine Try Magazine. \n\nIn Larsen’s newly released book\, MERRY HELL\, Helen of Troy exposes the “misogynist spell” of the traditional (patriarchal) narrative that condemns her for the horrors of the Trojan War and insists “LET ME TELL YOU ALL THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME”. As it happened\, Helen is neither abducted by nor runs off in love with Paris\, but rejects Empire and leaves Sparta of her own volition. Helen’s story\, a heroine’s journey\, is interwoven with circumstances surrounding the Pétroleuse\, or women incendiaries\, of the 1871 Paris Commune as well as those of Occupy Oakland. As Ezra Pound states\, “All eras are contemporaneous in the mind.” \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/sara-larsen/ LOCATION:Gloucester Writers Center\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, 01930 CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Winter-2015-2016-314-e1476804572356.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161205T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161205T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20160112T141308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160816T125041Z UID:6041-1480966200-1480971600@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-14-2016-12-01/ 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:20161205T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161205T173000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20161025T153740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161025T153740Z UID:7074-1480955400-1480959000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Teen Creative Writing at the Sawyer Free Library 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/teen-creative-writing-sawyer-free-library-5/ LOCATION:Sawyer Free Library\, 2 Dale Ave\, Gloucester CATEGORIES:Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Teen-Creative-Writing-Flyer.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20161202T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161202T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20161025T145738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161127T003316Z UID:7058-1480707000-1480712400@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Fish Tales DESCRIPTION:Get tickets 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/fish-tales-8/ LOCATION:Gloucester Stage Company\, 267 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Readings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20161130T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161130T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20160906T143256Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161114T201844Z UID:6983-1480534200-1480539600@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Kevin Gallagher DESCRIPTION:The crucial questions of racism\, labor rights\, and wealth-and their complex and undeniable connections are taken up by LOOM. 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:20161128T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161128T173000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20161025T153625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161025T153625Z UID:7072-1480350600-1480354200@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Teen Creative Writing at the Sawyer Free Library 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/teen-creative-writing-sawyer-free-library-4/ LOCATION:Sawyer Free Library\, 2 Dale Ave\, Gloucester CATEGORIES:Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Teen-Creative-Writing-Flyer.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20161121T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161121T173000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20161025T153440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161025T153440Z UID:7070-1479745800-1479749400@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Teen Creative Writing at the Sawyer Free Library 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/teen-creative-writing-sawyer-free-library-3/ LOCATION:Sawyer Free Library\, 2 Dale Ave\, Gloucester CATEGORIES:Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Teen-Creative-Writing-Flyer.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20161114T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161114T173000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 CREATED:20161025T153258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161025T153258Z UID:7068-1479141000-1479144600@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Teen Creative Writing at the Sawyer Free Library 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/teen-creative-writing-sawyer-free-library-2/ LOCATION:Sawyer Free Library\, 2 Dale Ave\, Gloucester CATEGORIES:Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Teen-Creative-Writing-Flyer.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20161109T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20161109T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182231 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.
