JEAN ALONSO is a labor activist who worked for fifteen years at Raytheon Corporation building parts for the Patriot Missile. Her narrative non-fiction, The Patriots, tells the story of her life in the military-industrial complex, and describes the investigation by Raytheon workers of how their command-and-control work culture altered their lives. Parallels are seen in the contemporary conduct of U.S. foreign policy. Jean has degrees from Harvard, Tufts and Cambridge-Goddard Colleges and has studied at the summer Writers’ Workshops at The William Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences at U Mass-Boston. She has published articles and reviews in Women’s Review of Books, The Labor Page, and The Monthly Review. She lives in Dorchester.
JEAN DANY JOACHIM lives in Cambridge and coordinates the City Night Reading Series which brings together poets, writers, performers and lovers of literature, poetry and writing for an evening of reading every three months. His work has appeared in Runes, A Review of Poetry, Arctos Press, Lovers’ Sweet Nothings: a Secret Anthology, Memoire d’Encrier, Love and Other Poems, Trilingual Press.
The reading will begin with an open mike. Refreshments will be served before and after the reading starting at 7pm. Suggested Donation--$3.
