Anthony Martignetti read from their books: \nThe Lons \nStrange things are growing in Leonard Slinket’s watermelon field. They are as light and small as Wiffle balls\, turn smooth and warm\, dark\, yet luminous\, and their vines beat with a pulse. So begins The Lons – short for watermelons – as Slinket\, his younger carpenter-friend\, John Bigby\, and science teacher\, Lydia Rice\, set out to discover why the lons are here\, and what it is that they want\, or else\, says Leonard\, “all hell’s gonna break loose.” Who knows if the lons are good or bad? But there’s no doubting their power and their beauty\, their need for each other\, and the mystery of their existence. In this story of adventure\, loyalty\, love\, and connection\, we come to find that the lons are not much different from us. \n  \nBeloved Demons: Confessions of an Unquiet Mind  \nIn his follow-up to Lunatic Heroes\, Martignetti sheds all defenses to reveal the viscera of a mind shaped by the dark and confusing forces of his childhood. This collection of memoirs and essays focuses mainly on Martignetti’s adult years\, and features the pivotal characters of his ever-entertaining personal narrative. From the cascade of memories and emotions triggered by an accidental butterfly killing in “Cocoon Talk\,” to the homicidal impulses prompted by a visit to his boyhood home in “Sign\,” from the heartbreaking to the hilarious musings inspired by beloved pets in “Mochajava” and “Dog\,” and throughout the uncensored sexcapades of “Mad\,” “The Wild\,” and “Feast of the Hungry Ghost\,” Martignetti’s colloquial\, humorous\, and intimate style will keep you riveted\, crack you open\, enthrall and embrace you with an honesty normally reserved for not even the closest of friends. \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/peggy-ramback/ 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/2014/01/ramback.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20140317T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20140317T213000 DTSTAMP:20260429T073035 CREATED:20140301T190839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140301T190839Z UID:4208-1395082800-1395091800@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:10-minute Playwriting Workshop 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-playwriting-workshop-4-2/ LOCATION:GWC\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\, United States CATEGORIES:Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lynda-Robinson-Thumbnail1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20140310T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20140310T213000 DTSTAMP:20260429T073035 CREATED:20140123T183537Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140123T183537Z UID:4108-1394478000-1394487000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:10-minute Playwriting Workshop 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-playwriting-workshop-4/ LOCATION:GWC\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\, United States CATEGORIES:Classes,Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lynda-Robinson-Thumbnail1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20140307T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20140307T200000 DTSTAMP:20260429T073035 CREATED:20140213T211934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140213T211934Z UID:4167-1394213400-1394222400@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Fred Dillen Novel Launch: Beauty DESCRIPTION:Local readers say:\n\n\n      brought Gloucester (OK\, Elizabeth Island) vividly to life\, and utterly captured the feel\, the look\, the smell\, the soul of the place\n     Carol is an undertaker who breathes life\n     I love BEAUTY because it’s a feminist\, fish thriller\n     I know nothing about the financial world\, but I feel I got a lively education in Acquisitions and Undertaking 101\n     I wish Carol were really here saving our waterfront\n     I can taste\, smell\, hear and see Gloucester\n     What fun\n\n\n\n\nThen the out-of-towners\, for what they’re worth:\n\nPublishers Weekly   —    a feel-good story with a dash of romance \n\n\n      Kirkus Review   —               After a career closing factories\, a woman reclaims her blue-collar roots\, revives a plant and saves a community. \n      Booklist:   —                         The fast-moving\, cutthroat world of corporate acquisitions and mergers proves a fascinating milieu for the story of one woman. Carol McLean\, 56\, is the “undertaker” who delivers the news that a company is dead for New York firm Baxter Blume\, and in that role\, she has become known as “the Beast.” After just one more burial – of Elizabeth’s Fish in coastal Massachusetts – she’s been promised her own company. But Baxter Blume reneges and fires her instead\, and Carol – impressed by the women who work the line at the fish factory – acts to make Elizabeth’s Fish her own to run. With her blue-collar background\, Carol relates to the people of Elizabeth Island\, particularly to fisherman Ezekiel “Easy” Parsons\, who tags her with the nickname “Beauty.” Dealing with a proposed zoning change is easy\, but then comes the potentially fatal injunction limiting the local fishing that’s essential to Carol’s plan. Dillen’s third novel (after Hero\, 1994\, and Fool\, 1999) is an absorbing story of one smart\, hardworking woman handling the “fat boys” of corporate leadership on their own turf\, with masterfully developed characters and\, as a bonus\, a poignant romance. \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/fred-dillen-novel-launch-beauty/ 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/2014/02/dillen.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20140306T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20140306T123000 DTSTAMP:20260429T073035 CREATED:20140209T023608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140209T023608Z UID:4153-1394098200-1394109000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Elements of Story: Works in Progress DESCRIPTION:Elements of Story: Works in Progress \nAnn McArdle \nThurs mornings 9:30-12:30\, March 6-April 10\, 2014 \n$150; maximum class size 10 (this class is nearly full\, so register now.) \n  \nAre you working on a memoir\, a novel\, something half-way between the two?
