SUMMARY:A Writer's Night in March
DESCRIPTION:Straw Dog Writers’ Guild and Longmeadow Adult Center present writer Rick Parr on Thursday\, March 20 from  6:45-7:30pm at the Longmeadow Adult Center. \nRick Paar is a psychologist. For thirty-five years he taught a variety of course ranging from Theories of Personality (a lot of first year students) to Group Therapy (masters and doctoral students). He chaired the psychology department at Springfield College\, served on the executive board of the Massachusetts Psychological Association\, published essays in psych journals (Psychotherapy Patient\, Voices\, The International Journal of Play) and literary journals (Meat for Tea\, Blue Nib\, Aethelon). He was a columnist for The MPA Quarterly\, The Reminder\, and the Wayne (Nebraska) Herald. Somewhere along the line it occurred to him that literature\, in many ways\, does a better job of understanding what it means to be human than psychology does\, so he began writing stories: some fiction\, some nonfiction\, some long\, some short. He is on the Board of Directors of Straw Dog Writers’ Guild. His travel memoir God Bless America and Breakfast Burritos to Go was published in December 2022. Rick lives in Longmeadow and has two grown kids and one grandson. \nYou may register by calling 413-565-4150\, option 1. Or you can just show up.The Longmeadow Adult Center is located at 211 Maple Road\, Longmeadow.
