Writers Read/Hilltowns – Featured Reader Mary Clare Powell

Here’s how it works: The featured writer reads recent work and describes the journey to publication, followed by Q & A. Then the floor opens to other writers, who can read for five minutes each; we also draw two names for 10-minute readings. If you want to read, put your name in the hat before 2:15.

Featured Reader Dr. Mary Clare Powell taught for 30 years at Lesley University (Cambridge, MA) in the Creative Arts in Learning program, a Master’s program for teachers. She has published books on women and the future; the arts, education, and social change; and two books of poetry–Things Owls AteandAcademic Scat—and two chapbooks–In the Living Room,andBox of Water. Everyday Ecstasy is her collection of poems about aging, which she has found to be rich, stimulating, and even fun, in spite of losses of all kinds.
