POET JAY FEATHERSTONE AT THE GLOUCESTER WRITER’S CENTER!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

My friend Jay Featherstone will be reading from his new book of poems Glass at the Gloucester Writers’ Center on May 15th at 7pm. You can order Glass from fenwaypress.com, or from his website, jayfeatherstone.com, which has some sample poems and the beginning of a schedule of readings. Or ask a local bookstore to carry this book from an independent press.

Jay wrote another beautiful book about poems awhile back that you may be familiar with, Brace’s Cove, which is also available to purchase on his website

Have you seen the custom sign designed for the Gloucester Writers Center on East Main Street? I sent a picture of the drive by view to Henry Ferrini. He sent back “an interior shot of the sign with an effigy of Vincent working at his typewriter”  looking out their new-ish (2014) window thanks to another helpful grant of the Community Preservation Act.

The sign was made by Cheryl’s Signs in Gloucester and installed last fall. Ferrini added: “William Taylor who is on the board of the Gloucester Writers Center should get all the kudos. He came up with the idea and executed it.” Look out the window and listen:  Henry plays a part in the captivating restoration of classical radio WCVA-FM www.wcva.com. Turn it on.

This week: poets Jay Featherstone reading with Carol Seitchik at the Gloucester Writers’ Center, Wed April 6, 7:30 pm.
