The Gloucester Writers Center presents Endicott Writers Night on Wednesday, November 20th 7:30 p.m., at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center. The featured writers are a group of students and professors from Endicott College who demonstrate the breadth of literary talent on campus.
Our first reader, Dan Sklar, is a creative writing professor at Endicott well known not only for his colorful poetry, stories and plays but also for his ability to inspire students through his positive attitude and free spirit. Recent publications include the Harvard Review, New York Quarterly, Ibbetson Street Press and The Art of the One-Act. His one act play Lycanthropy was produced at the Boston Theatre Marathon in 2012 and was reviewed by the Boston Globe. Ibbetson Street Press published Flying Cat (Actually Swooping) Poems, Stories and Plays this year.
Our next reader is Endicott student Meghan Perkins, well known around campus for her work ethic. She is scheduled to graduate with a B.A. in English and a minor in Environmental Studies in December 2013. She has been published in the Endicott Review, the Ibbetson Street Press, the Somerville News, the Small Press Review and the Gardener News. Post-graduation, she hopes to follow her goals of writing academically and creatively, helping the environment and traveling the world.
Our other student reader, Emily Pineau, is a junior whose poetry has appeared in the anthology, Like One: Poems For Boston, and in newspapers and literary journals such as the Somerville News, The Endicott Observer, The Endicott Review, Ibbetson Street Press, Muddy River Poetry Review, and Notes from the Gean:Monthly Haiku Journal. In 2012 her poem ,“I would for you” was nominated for a pushcart prize. In 2013 the Ibbetson Street Press published her poetry collection, No Need to Speak. The Aurorean chose No Need to Speak as the Editor’s Chap/ Book Choice to be featured in their October/2013 issue.
Our last featured reader is Doug Holder, a writing professor at Endicott College and Bunker Hill Community College in Boston. He is the founder of the Ibbetson Street Press and a well known writer in the metropolitan Boston area. His latest collection of poetry, Eating Greif at 3AM (Muddy River Books) was released in October of 2013. Holder’s poetry and prose have appeared in Rattle, Main St. Rag, Caesura, Long Island Quarterly, Toronto Quarterly, the new renaissance, the Café Re-view and others. He holds an M.A. in Literature from Harvard University.
After our four writers are finished reading there will be an open mic for all Endicott students who show up and would like to read. There will also be refreshments served.
The Gloucester Writers Center was founded in 2010 to save the late poet Vincent Ferrini’s home and turn it into a working writer’s center. Its mission is to preserve, promote, and celebrate Cape Ann’s rich literary legacy and to encourage writing in the belief that all voices count. The Gloucester Center is “a working writers center in a working town.
