The Massachusetts Poetry Festival takes place from May 3rd to May 5th this year, and this time around I'm organizing my first panel. On Friday May 3rd at 3:45 PM, I will be leading a discussion on the history of Stone Soup and Jack Powers, who founded the series I now organize over forty years ago. Joining me in the Hawthorne Hotel's Sophia Room in Salem, Massachusetts will be key figures from Stone Soup's past. Join Dan Shanahan, Janes Van Looy, Carol Weston, and myself as we speak for an hour while presenting a series of photos on Stone Soup's history taken by Julie Stone. Ms. Stone, incidentally, is a Cambridge based photographer who was instrumental in assembling Light From Stone, Jack's only full length book collection of his work. With any luck, she'll be in the audience as well. I hope to present a few more surprises that day. It's the perfect follow up to Tom Daley's Every Broom and Bridget, which features at the same location an hour before.
