SUMMARY:Writers Night Out in September
DESCRIPTION:Join Straw Dog Writers Guild on Tuesday September 2nd\, 6:00-8:00pm for Writers Night Out with featured writer Joshua Michael Steward at Forbes Library. No registration required. If you want to participate in Open Mic and read\, please sign up by 5:50pm. Ten names will be randomly selected. Each reader will have five minutes. The second half of the evening showcases our Featured Reader. \nMasks are not currently required for indoor events. Please wear a mask if you would like to exercise caution. \nHosted by Jacqueline Sheehan\, Rick Paar and Beth Filson.\nSponsored by Valley Home Improvement. \nJoshua Michael Stewart is the author of Break Every String\, The Bastard Children of Dharma Bums\, and Love Something. His work has appeared in Modern Haiku\, Massachusetts Review\, Brilliant Corners\, New Flash Fiction Review\, and Best Small Fictions 2025. His latest book is Welcome Home\, Russell Edson—a graphic novel & prose poem hybrid created in collaboration with illustrators Bret M. Herholz and Aaron J. Krolikowski. https://joshuamichaelstewartauthor.com \n“There’s a fearlessness in Joshua Michael Stewart’s poetry—tough\, tightly written narratives and monologues about living poor with broken people (some of whom are your closest relatives) in hard times. This heartfelt gritty work reminds me of the hardscrabble accounts of humanity in some of our best poets—the work of Ai\, Bruce Weigel\, and Linda McCarriston’s landmark book\, Eva-Marie. Stewart exercises the courage of truth telling and takes the revenge of real poetic craft. As Bruce Weigel says “Say it clearly and you make it beautiful\, no matter what.”; Or as Stewart says\, “Poets are the battered spouses of hope.”; You can’t help but respect the maker of these streamlined vehicles\, for his guts and his unsentimental\, vivid poems.”\n-Tony Hoagland

SUMMARY:A Writer's Night in September
DESCRIPTION:Straw Dog Writers’ Guild and Longmeadow Adult Center present writer Suzanne Strempek Shea on Thursday\, September 11th\, from 6:45-7:30pm at the Longmeadow Adult Center.\n\n\n\n\nSuzanne Strempek Shea grew up in a small Polish-American Western Massachusetts village\, dreaming of becoming a horse trainer or an artist. Her first published writing was a newspaper she handwrote and drew for her parents every Saturday night when they went polka dancing and she stayed overnight downstairs at the home of her maternal grandparents. The Nutty News had only a circulation of one copy\, but it was a start. She fell into writing in high school\, when she went down to the office of The Palmer Journal and Monson Register\, her town’s newspaper\, to complain that it never wrote a story about the high school’s hockey team\, which contained both a sport and a couple of boys she loved. The editor told her there were no reporters free to go to the games\, and if she went\, as she did to every game\, she and her pal Barbara Sekula being the statisticians\, why didn’t she just write up a story each week and hand it in for publication. She learned to write and shoot and develop on deadline. She also learned that it paid to complain. \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.
