Rosemary Haughton and Nancy Schwoyer, founders of Wellspring House, advocates for social justice, writers and activists, have inspired many of us on Cape Ann for almost 4 decades. We try to live out the principles they have taught us at the Gloucester Writers Center: hospitality with attention to action and reflection; knowing that ALL our voices count and in the words of Vincent Ferrini that “we are the gardeners of each other”. So it was our great honor to welcome them to hear about the book they are writing and to look forward to ongoing dialogues with them.
