Author Talk with Mark Kurlansky: The Boston Way: Radicals Against Slavery & The Civil War

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 ~ Sawyer Free Library ~ 

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 at sawyerfreelibrary.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.

Join the Sawyer Free Library for the Relaunch of the Gloucester Lyceum

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 ~ Sawyer Free Library ~ 

Placemaking: Our Library In Our Community with Ethan Kent

The Sawyer Free Library will officially relaunch the Gloucester Lyceum with a special event, Placemaking: Our Library In Our Community, featuring internationally renowned placemaking leader Ethan Kent, Executive Director of PlacemakingX.

The program will be held Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Sawyer Free Library’s Community Room, 2 Dale Avenue, Gloucester. Free and open to the public, registration is required at sawyerfreelibrary.org. Space is limited.

The program will begin with remarks by Mr. Kent, followed by interactive conversations with fellow attendees throughout the various spaces of the newly renovated, expanded, and modernized Sawyer Free Library. The perspectives shared in these dialogues will inspire closing insights from Mr. Kent, allowing participants to reflect on how Gloucester can continue to build meaningful, inclusive spaces—starting with its newly reimagined Library.

“Placemaking is about strengthening the connection between people and the places they share,” said Ethan Kent. “It’s about making the spaces we live, the places we love.”

The Gloucester Lyceum: A Tradition Renewed

Founded in 1830, the Gloucester Lyceum once brought thought leaders such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau to Cape Ann. Today, the Sawyer Free Library’s relaunch builds on this proud tradition, offering marquee programs that bring contemporary voices into dialogue with the community.

“The relaunch of the Gloucester Lyceum is about renewing a proud tradition of bringing people together for public discourse within a collaborative forum. True to the notion that a lyceum is “where the city comes to think,” we are honored to welcome Ethan Kent as our first speaker in this new chapter. His work around the world embodies the very spirit of community dialogue and imagination that we hope to cultivate right here in Gloucester,” said Laura Ventimiglia, Chair of the Gloucester Lyceum. 

“Welcoming Ethan Kent to Gloucester to help relaunch our historic Lyceum is both timely and inspiring,” added Mern Sibley, President of the Board of Trustees of the Sawyer Free Library. “Our newly reimagined Library is the hub of the community—offering so much to so many. Ethan’s work demonstrates how meaningful public spaces can bring people together, foster belonging, and strengthen communities.”

About the Sawyer Free Library

For nearly 200 years, the Sawyer Free Library has served Gloucester as a hub of culture, learning, and civic life. Its newly renovated and expanded building continues this mission, providing equal access to resources and programs that support the community’s evolving needs.
