The Gloucester Writers Center is a place for working writers in a working town
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.
