THE WRITER’S BLOCK With John J. Ronan
Season Premier to be Cablecast September 24 and October 1, 2015
Cape Ann TV and Gloucester resident John J. Ronan have announced the 26th season of the television series, The Writer’s Block with John J. Ronan. The award-winning series is one of the oldest, continuously-running public access shows in New England. In 2005, The Writer’s Block was awarded First Prize for an Educational Program Series by the New England Cable Television Association.
The Silver + 1 Season begins with the student winners of the spring Poetry Without Paper contest, sponsored by the Gloucester Lyceum. Students of elementary, middle, and high school age will read and discuss their poetry. The program will be cablecast Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 8:00 p.m., and repeated one week later. All of the year’s half-hour programs will present interviews with literary figures and artists from varied backgrounds.
John Ronan, producer and host of The Writer’s Block, is a former Gloucester Poet Laureate and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow in Creative Writing. He is also a journalist and film producer and teaches writing and film as Professor Emeritus at North Shore Community College. (theRonan.org)
“Cape Ann TV is dynamic force for culture on the Cape and we are proud of The Writer’s Block record,” Ronan declares. “Twenty-six seasons is a long run in any market, at any level. This season will be our best yet!”
