Coming Up June 3, 2013

It's Summer!!!! And we're back!

Season 7 promises to be our best yet-- some of the best of our past Readers and a group of "newbies" we expect will continue our tradition (I think after 7 years we can have a tradition!) of excellence.

Sponsorships ($150) and Program Patron ($25) opportunities are still available--just let me know if you are interested.

So come join us on the Green! 

Coming up this Monday, June 3rd, we feature:

Peter Dugan

  

Peter V. Dugan was born and raised on Long Island. He is a graduate of The New School in New York City and currently enrolled in the MFA program at Adelphi University. He has published five collections of poetry and has been published in numerous anthologies and magazines over the years. His work has recently appeared in Reckless Writing: The Modernization of Poetry by Emerging Writers of the 21st Century, Chatter House Press 2012 and he co-edited and formatted the Writing Outside The Lines poetry anthology, Wyld Syde Press 2012. He also hosts a reading series at the Oceanside Library on Long Island.

John Brennan

  

Comes from Crossmaglen, a small town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. LIved in Manhattan for twelve years but thankfully managed to escape to the relative sanctuary of Long island just in time to save his sanity!.................. (Or so he thought!)

He has traveled extensively and has visited many of the sacred sites. He incorporates his experiences in both his prose and poetry. John is a member of the Long Island Writers Guild: the Long Island Poets Collective: the Amateur Writers of Long Island: the Performance Poets Association and the Bards Initiative. Some of his writing expresses the spiritual dimension and each piece hopefully contains a lesson coupled with historical facts. He has also written a series of poems dedicated to the musicians who, sadly, are no longer with us.
