Sage Walcott and Jim Seavey

November 9, 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Jim Seavey, a Cape Ann native, has been writing poetry since the mid
sixties, publishing occasionally, including in 'Living Proof' by North
Shore Writers Worshop. He will read from 'Work Days' written during the
time he lived in Lanesville and worked in downtown Gloucester, each poem
being the revelation of the landscape as envisioned by a Cape Ann artist,
and a selection of other poems. He has been inspired by the great Cape Ann
poets, Eliot, Olson and Ferrini. He lives in Gloucester and in Nashville
TN, with his wife of many years, Rev. Gail Seavey.

 Sage and Linda Walcott came to Gloucester about forty years ago and now live adjacent
to Ravenswood Park above us and Freshwater Cove below, both of which supply
wonderful material for many of Sage's poems.  He practiced law here for about ten
years or so but then gradually turned his attention to teaching.  He now teaches
occasional courses in writing and early Western Literature at Northshore
Community College.  He has been published in North Essex Review, Living Proof,
Friends of Acadia Journal, Poetpourri and in Almond Memories, a chapbook.
