The Bookstore of Gloucester, 61 Main Street, is happy to be partnering with East Veterans Elementary School’s parent volunteers for a BOOK DRIVE to help fill the school’s library!
As seen on their Facebook page, “We know the importance of literacy, kids having access to windows & mirrors stories, and the value of community support. Help us fill those shelves by buying books for the library at The Bookstore. Books purchased for EVS at the store will be 20% off – just mention EVS at checkout! We have a collection box in store for donated books, as well as a list of books the library would like. We are always happy to make suggestions as well!”
The EVS Book Drive runs until March 9th! https://www.thebookstoreofgloucester.com/

Update From The Former Good Harbor Beach Inn
We rode over to check on the progress of the former Good Habor Beach Inn on Salt Island Road recently. Despite the cold and wind that day, the work was continuing at the new Inn at Good Harbor Beach. I understand they plan to re-open sometime this year following the complete reconstruction you see here: “blending modern luxury with its storied past to create an unparalleded guest experience”. We look forward to the results.

Sawyer Free Library Presents “Nature’s Voices” A Three-Part Literary Arts En Plein Air Writing Series
Award winning local author JoeAnn Hart to kick off series on Saturday, Feb 23
The Sawyer Free Library, in collaboration with Gloucester’s Writing Center, is thrilled to announce “Nature’s Voices,” a three-part writing workshop that invites participants to step away from everyday demands and reconnect with the natural world. Much like the French Impressionists who painted en plein air, the program invites participants to venture outside to observe shifting light, gentle breezes, and the soothing sounds of nature—only this time, capturing the scene on the page.
Led by professional writers, each session begins with a 30-minute guided walk to gather impressions and inspiration, followed by 90 minutes of writing indoors. Whether you’re a seasoned creator or new to writing, these sessions promise fresh perspectives, a deeper connection to nature, and invigorating creative exercises.
All sessions are free (ages 18+), rain or shine, and registration is required for each at sawyerfreelibrary.org. Dress for comfort and the elements, and bring your own rain gear if needed. Pens, notebooks, and an open mind are encouraged!
WORKSHOP 1: It Was a Dark & Stormy Night: The Natural World in Fiction with JoeAnn Hart
Sunday, February 23 | 2:00–4:00 PM at Gloucester Writers Center, 126 East Main Street, Gloucester
Award-winning local author JoeAnn Hart will guide participants in exploring how nature’s drama can add depth and tension to fiction. JoeAnn’s acclaimed works—such as her recently released novel Arroyo Circle (Green Writers Press), prize-winning environmental fiction collection Highwire Act & Other Tales of Survival, the crime memoir Stamford ’76: A True Story of Murder, Corruption, Race, and Feminism in the 1970s, as well as Float, a dark comedy about plastics, and Addled, a social satire. Widely published, her short fiction and essays have appeared in Slate.com, Orion, The Hopper, Prairie Schooner, Terrain.org, and many others. Her work explores the relationship between humans, their environments, and the more-than-human world. REGISTER HERE
WORKSHOP 2: Rocks, Trees, and Me: Exploring the Self through Ecopoetry with Rachel Dillon
Saturday, March 11 | 1:00–3:00 PM at Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street, Gloucester
Local writer Rachel Dillon, Managing Editor of Ploughshares and author of a chapbook on Gloucester’s Dogtown, will lead this hands-on workshop focused on ecopoetry.

Saturday, April 5 | 2:00–4:00 PM at Gloucester Writers Center, 126 East Main Street, Gloucester
