I was told about The Poetry Collective at Sheafe Street Books and started attending Tom D'Evelyn's fantastic poetry seminars.
April 2013
I saw Gloria Steinem speak about equality at the South Church.
I also attended the Newburyport Literary Festival with my friend Tanya, where we met Andre Dubus III, Myfanwy Collins, and Alan Lightman.

I saw Charles Simic read at the South Church.

I met Erika Robuck at RiverRun Bookstore.
I feel lucky to live in a town that has three independent bookstores. Each uniquely different. I try to support them all as well as our local library. I hope you do as well.
About this Blog
Since graduating from college, I have been a full-time freelance writer. I've created my own D.I.Y. MFA program by attending as many literary events as possible in my community. My goal is to attend a diverse array of events and to keep an open mind and an open heart.
This blogger account is where I log my literary events attended over the past six months.
