SUMMARY:Curt Curtin Releases New Poetry Collection for Older Children
DESCRIPTION:Curt Curtin and his wife\, Dee O’Connor\, will read from his latest collection\, So Much Depends On Where You Live\, which is both playful and deeply serious. Targeted to young readers in their teens and tweens\, the collection includes the “wit\, inventive rhyme schemes\, and fun wordplay” that characterized his previous collection for younger children\, but this new work includes challenging subject matter more appropriate for older children. The opening section entices the reader with images of home\, presenting warm memories in a diversity of settings ranging from a nine-story apartment to a mud hut in the Sahel. The second section moves the reader inward through metaphors of closets and themes of loss\, bullying\, domestic violence and foster care. The final section zooms out to take in the universe\, lightening the mood again with images from earth and beyond.  \nA brief open mic will start at 2 p.m. followed by the featured reading. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. A bilingual selection of the poems (Spanish and English) is currently in development for distribution within schools and other settings. Teen and pre-teen readers are highly encouraged to attend. \nFor more information or to reserve a seat or sign up for the open mic (space is limited)\, call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com. \nCurtin has won several awards for poetry including the Worcester County Poetry Association’s Frank O’Hara Award (2010) and the Connecticut Poetry Society’s annual contest (2019). He has twice been named a Pushcart Prize nominee. His poetry has been published in a variety of journals and anthologies\, three chapbooks and three other full-length poetry collections. \nFor more information about the author\, visit curtcurtinpoet.com

SUMMARY:Winners from Writers of the Future #38 Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a fun\, free virtual event featuring five winners of this year’s Writers of the Future Vol. 38\, the best new writers & illustrators in the sci-fi/fantasy genre as chosen by top pros in the field including Frank Herbert\, Kevin J. Anderson & Diane Dillon! Hear them read\, talk about their inspiration\, background and road to success. \nOrder the book at a 10% discount HERE or pick up in store. \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcscOGqqDsiHNVmV04VcIYjAf4oE_uvoSyJ \n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n  \n  \nHere’s a rundown of our special guests: \n \nMike Jack Stoumbos is a spec-fic author\, disguised as a believably normal teacher\, living with his wife and their parrot. Mike grew up with three brothers and over forty first cousins\, who he enlisted as test audiences (and participants) for his imagined adventures\, often reenacted with cardboard props or Star Wars action figures. His love of storytelling brought him to the stage as a musical theater actor\, the role-playing table as a game master\, and a career trajectory to teach English and theater. In the summer of 2019\, however\, Mike shifted his writing passion into a priority\, and once again became a student: attending workshops\, practicing daily\, and braving the story submission gauntlet. Mike’s work has since appeared in several collections\, including his first pro sale in Galactic Stew and a publication alongside a personal hero in Hold Your Fire: Stories Celebrating the Creative Spark. Shortly after he was named a Writers of the Future winner\, Mike’s space-opera series\, This Fine Crew\, was picked up by Chris Kennedy Publishing\, for many continuing adventures. The idea for “The Squid Is My Brother” emerged as a curiosity: how to take something from cosmic horror and make it as endearing as a family member. Even more importantly\, Mike wrote this story shortly after the schools had closed due to COVID in 2020 as a young student’s first-person account of transferring into a bizarre new environment\, fearing the unknown\, and learning about humanity. \nRebecca E. Treasure grew up reading science fiction and fantasy in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. After grad school and two children\, she began writing fiction. Rebecca has lived many places\, including the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Tokyo\, Japan. She currently resides in Texas Hill Country with her husband\, where she juggles two children\, two corgis\, a violin studio\, and writing. She only drops the children occasionally. Rebecca discovered Writers of the Future shortly after she began writing fiction. She has entered every quarter since\, making lifelong friends as a result. Rebecca’s short fiction has been published by or is forthcoming from WordFire Press\, Air and Nothingness Press\, Flame Tree Publishing\, The Dread Machine\, and others. She is an associate editor at Apex Book Company and Magazine. “Tsuu\, Tsuu\, Kasva Suuremasse” came about\, as many of Rebecca’s stories have\, from a synthesis of ideas. Research for her sixth novel\, a historical fantasy about Napoleonic magic users\, combined with a fascination with the idea of animal magic and beloved memories of an “adopted” grandmother from her childhood. The real Emily lived in a cozy apartment across from Rebecca’s family and collected dolls. \nJim Zaccaria was born and raised in East Boston. Jim has worked varied jobs in graphic design—first as a printer\, then a print buyer\, and then as a graphic designer specializing in book cover design. His work has won acclaim from Bookbuilders of Boston\, The New York Book Show\, and the Boskone Art Show. Also\, his work has appeared in the annuals from Bookbuilders of Boston and Infected by Art. Much of his daily work is book cover design for publishers and independent authors\, though he feels the pull toward image creation. Over the last several years\, he has started to build his portfolio and exhibit at various conventions\, squeezing in new art every chance he gets. Jim has been drawn to the arts from an early age. Music is an immense inspiration for ideas\, and much of his work is influenced by a song title\, lyric\, or mood. Other subjects that motivate and spark his imagination are mythology\, poster design\, and artists working in imaginative realism. Most of his art is produced digitally\, and he sees that as a perfect medium for commercial works\, but he also enjoys working in traditional methods as well as a blending of the two. \n \n  \nNatalia Salvador was born in 1985 in Granada\, in the south of Spain. She grew up reading\, watching adventure films\, and playing classic adventure video games that inspired her drawings. She always liked art and admired book covers and interior illustrations\, so it wasn’t surprising when she decided to approach that world by studying fine arts and graphic design. Her mother always encouraged her and was the one who gave her the final push to pursue a career in illustration. Influenced by fantasy art and the Golden Age of illustration\, she enjoys creating beautiful images that tell a story. \n  \nGrowing up in Jamaica\, Michael Talbot had always had a strong desire to inspire and speak to others through art. In 2012 he left his home country to live in the United States and began pursuing his artistic dreams. He earned his BFA in Illustration and Graphic Design with a minor in Animation at Lesley University in Cambridge\, MA\, and has since been working as a Boston-based Freelance Artist on a wide range of projects\, exhibitions\, and showcases. Michael believes that all art is inter-connected in some facet; informing\, complimenting and/or enhancing each other. And although his passion and interest for storytelling is forefront in his practice and craft\, he tends to draw from his knowledge in as many areas of study as possible to help strengthen this process. Whenever possible\, he uses his rich cultural background from his early life in Jamaica to infuse\, improve\, and “season” whatever project he tackles\, often mixing both digital and traditional media.

SUMMARY:Beyond Blooms\, Textures in our Garden-Photography Exhibit by Don McCallister
DESCRIPTION:Textures in the Garden by Don McCallister\nThe featured art show of July is photography by Don McCallister\, on display and for sale July 5th-30th in the cafe gallery.\n \nA reception to meet the artist will take place on Saturday\, July 23rd from 1-3 p.m.  \nViewing hours for the public are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5\, Wednesday 10-6.  \nFor more information call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com \n  \n  \nArtist’s statement: \nGardens can be beautiful with flowers of every color and hue. But when the flowers are finished blooming\, all you have left in boring green foliage. Right? Well\, not necessarily. There can be interesting subjects in the garden all year long. All you need to do is look beyond the blooms and you’ll discover a never ending variety of shapes and textures. (And having a talented gardener\, such as my wife\, to design the gardens helps.) I hope this collection will inspire its viewers to look for unexpected beauty in our yards and in the natural world. \n

SUMMARY:Comedy Nite!
DESCRIPTION:Join in the fun for our premier Comedy Nite featuring four great\, local comics! \nTickets are just $15. Limited seating. Don’t wait!! Get yours HERE or stop in the store. \nCathy Coleman is a young badass comic from Boston. Actually\, she’s a middle aged badass comic from right here in Webster. She’s performed at Boston Comedy Chicks\, Improv Boston\, and the Comedy Studio as well as bars and comedy clubs all over New England and once in a library. She’s opened for headliners\, Julie Goldman and Kristen Becker. Her students say she is a cross between Paula Poundstone and Ellen Degeneres. Her mother says she is a cross between difficult and challenging. She says she is a cross between witty and worrisome. \n  \n  \n \n  \nPatty Gould\, affectionately known as FPG because of her challenged time management skills\, has been performing stand up for the past 10 years. She can be found on any given weekend telling her glass half filled tales navigating life as FPG. She has shared stages with all of The Boston Comedy veterans and legends throughout New England and is always the hometown favorite. Her first bookstore appearance\, she is very excited to be a part of this show.  \n  \n  \nNick Ortolani is the first guy to introduce himself at a party\, and also the first to leave. His comedy combines a commanding stage presence with a literary sensibility to create something unique. Employing a borderline-moral outrage at the daily atrocities of modern life\, big and small\, Nick leaves no stone unturned. A tightly wound ball of neurosis and charisma\, Nick’s stage presence betrays a very-real guy with a razor sharp wit and a heart of gold. His physical and verbal acrobatics have appeared in the Boston Comedy Festival (semi-finalist\, 2017\, 2018); The Women In Comedy Festival (2015\, 2017\, 2019); The Black Friday Comedy Marathon (2015); and the Rogue Island Comedy Festival (2017). He appears regularly at clubs around Boston\, and has opened for national headliners. A regular at the Comedy Studio in Cambridge MA\, Nick was selected as Comic In Residence for the club’s 20th anniversary. In addition to appearing on stage\, Nick’s writing has been featured in The Hard Times\, Funny Or Die\, and on the Nerdist podcast network. He currently resides in Boston and is not as much of a cat person as you might think. \n \n  \nLaura Jean Fay is a writer and teacher who grew up in and around Boston.  After being laid off in 2020\, she started doing stand-up last year in Central Mass. Since then she has performed at several venues in and around Worcester. Laura Jean moved to Webster in 2019  where she stayed to ride out the Covid-19 crisis. When asked what got her through the pandemic she replies “Black market haircuts and lots of Cherry Garcia”.
