Join us at the Gloucester Writers Center at 7PM on Thursday, January 22nd for a fascinating conversation and reading centered around I Have a Poem For You. This new book gathers three of the poet Charles Shively's manuscripts in addition to a selection of previously uncollected work.

Edited and introduced by Jim Dunn and Erik Lomen, the book provides a fresh perspective on a committed anarchist who was important to the Gay Liberation Movement. Emma Goldman said she didn't want the revolution if she couldn't dance -- Shively's poems suggest there should be singing, too.

We look forward to joining Jim and Erik to hear selections from the poems and reflections on the editorial process.

As with all of our events, this is free and open to the public, and donations are appreciated.
