Chapter and Verse Literary Reading
Readings, featuring an ever-changing array of well-known poets and writers, are followed by a reception, including refreshments and an opportunity to meet and talk with the readers, buy their books, and have them signed.
John M. Anderson teaches at Boston College and is the husband of the visual artist Kathrine Douthit. John’s poetry has appeared in Poetry Daily, Verse Daily, Crazyhorse, The Antioch Review and other journals. For the last three years he’s been writing a single sequence of poems based on a single issue of The New Yorker; eleven of these have been published in The Seattle Review.
Jennifer Barber is the author of Given Away and Rigging the Wind, both from Kore Press, and Vendaval in Take Three: 3 (Graywolf Press). She is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a St. Botolph Grant, a Heinrich Boll Cottage residency, and the Anna Davidson Rosenberg Award. Recent poems have appeared in Orion, Cerise Press, the New Yorker, the Harvard Divinity Bulletin, and the Gettysburg Review. She teaches at Suffolk University and is founding and current editor of the literary journal Salamander, currently celebrating its 20th year.
Exhibiting:
Kathrine Douthit has been an oil painter for 20 years. She has taken part in J.P. Open Studios and won Best Painting in 2008 at the Northeast Prize Show held by the Cambridge Artists Association. But for the past five years, she has begun experimenting with installation, an art form that merges more traditional fine art media with something like stage sets. For Chapter and Verse, she will create an installation inspired by her husband John M. Anderson’s poetry.
