| OCTOBER GUEST ARTIST Jack McCarthy The Boston Globe says, “In the poetry world, he's a rock star.” Jack McCarthy has been writing since the 60s. In 1996, he was a member of Boston’s National Poetry Slam team, where he was included in the feature film "Slamnation." At the 2000 National Poetry Slam, he competed with the Worcester team and finished as the 10th ranked individual poet of that year’s contest. McCarthy’s book, Say Goodnight, Grace Notes, was released in 2003 by EM Press to rave reviews. ALA Booklist says, "McCarthy brings his compelling experiences to his poetry with nimble humor, hard-won wisdom, and a raconteur's knack for telling diabolically barbed stories…concrete, candid, personal, and utterly captivating…caustic, sexy and smart." He’s also published two chapbooks, a cassette, and CD. His work has appeared in a number of anthologies, including The Spoken Word Revolution. Click here for performance schedule |
