It may be summer, but things are not slowing down at the Gloucester Writers Center. The summer kicked off with the Life is the Poem party, celebrating Vincent Ferrini’s birthday. At the party it was announced that a book would be published next spring containing poems that Ferrini wrote to his friends and colleagues on Cape Ann. If you have a poem you would like to share, send a copy to the Gloucester Writers Center at 126 East Main Street in Gloucester.
The Finish Line Writers Group and the Center also hosted bestselling author Brunonia Barry who talked about her transition from self publishing all the way to the New York Times bestseller list. Ms. Barry, who is from Salem, is the author of "The Lace Reader" and "The Map of True Places." A big thank you to Ms. Barry for her informative and entertaining talk, and for answering dozens of questions about the self-publishing.
Check out the calendar of summer events and workshops at the Center by visiting www.gloucesterwriters.org. Summer is not an excuse to ignore your inner writer! 🙂

Words of the Vision of the Soul
By Peter A. Todd
February 28th. 1988

Poetry must and always be of the soul
yet! a rendering of love of the writers heart
It should contain a vision of time to yet unfold
The emotion of its meaning from the start
Poetry is ancient as from the Psalms of David
Such a faithful and God fearing man
It is also a renewal of life and its meaning
A footpath led by the Master’s plan
The description of what is within the inner beauty
Of loved ones we embrace and cherish dear
Or the vision of a mountain and morning clearing
It is the very existence of our inner tears
Of words to be treasured through the sands of time
A vision for the blind of pleasures to unfold
Expression of love in our thoughts hard to find
Poetry more precious than the world and all its gold
It’s the echo of ones heart to the impaired of hearing
The comforting of mind in sadness cast
The reflection of the soul and ones awakening nearing
It’s etched in silver within the soul’s reflection matched
