The Jamaica Plain Carpenter Poets
THE JAMAICA PLAIN CARPENTER POETS are "18 men and one woman. They write of cross-cuts and concrete, aprons and belts, splinters and cuts, posts and beams, plaster and lathe, hammer and nails, the bit and the blade. One penned an elegiac poem called "A Carpenter's Friend," about a beloved dog who accompanied him on each job. They've written about impossible clients and favorite clients. They've written odes to the wood they work with, to the ubiquitous yellow pencil stuck behind their ears." (Boston Globe, December 30, 2006)
The reading will begin with an open mike. Refreshments will be served before and after the reading starting at 7pm. Suggested Donation--$3.
