Join the Sawyer Free Library for an afternoon with acclaimed author Mark Kurlansky as he discusses his latest book, The Boston Way: Radicals Against Slavery & The Civil War on Saturday, October 25 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM.
In this powerful and thought-provoking work, Kurlansky explores a lesser-known side of abolitionism—the Boston pacifists who believed persuasion, not violence, was the only path to lasting freedom and justice. Through the lives of William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and other Black and white abolitionists, Kurlansky examines how their moral courage and commitment to nonviolence shaped not only the fight against slavery, but the broader pursuit of human rights that would influence thinkers from Leo Tolstoy to Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Copies of The Boston Way will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of The Bookstore of Gloucester.
The event is free, and open to all to attend but registration is requested atsawyerfreelibrary.org.

My artwork is inspired by all of nature, from the daily beauty of Cape Ann, to the depth of human experience in a life blessed and humbled by the urge to create. When painting, I love color and playing with composition, and the surprising results of using materials in new ways. This year I took up Gelli printing and am delighting in combining those techniques with acrylic stain painting. I’ll be pleased to show you how it’s done when you visit my studio on Gloucester’s Cripple Cove.
Also on view will be two of my newer sculptures. I added sculpture to my practice a dozen or so years ago when the environmental statements I wanted to make cried out for 3D. For these works I most often use recyclables and found objects and, at times, paint. Selections from my sculptural work can be found in the book “Site Specific: 20 Years of Sculpture at Maudslay” by Joyce Zarins as well as on the Outdoor Sculpture at Maudslay website.

We had a great showing for the annual OarMaster Cup Race last Saturday! Twelve rowers competed this year — our largest field to date.
Congratulations to Jay Hillebrecht, the winner of the 2025 race, with a time of 21:21. A special shoutout as well to our two women competitors, Leanne Pallazola and Kristen Burnham, with Kristen earning the title of fastest woman this year.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and it was a fun and competitive day for everyone involved. A big thank-you to Joe Novello for serving as the chase boat all day — your help was greatly appreciated.
Attached are a few photos from the day.
