A Virtual Thirsty Lab with Glenn D’Alessio

The Thirsty Lab poetry reading, normally based out of Princeton, Mass., continues to meet virtually. On Tuesday, March 25th, 2025 Glenn D’Alessio will be the featured reader. Please Click Here to register.

Glenn D’Alessio plays flute in the Worcester State Jazz Band, and in the Florence MA Community Band. He was a past college instructor about energy conservation, and also green building, who is still a carpenter and builder from West Brookfield, MA. For several years he was a volunteer with the “Worcester Energy Barn Raisers” (WEBr) who weatherized numerous places — weatherization being like tightening a ship to keep water, ants, and rot out; and during the winter, the heat in. His Finishing Line Press chapbooks are: In My Sea Cliff Years of Innocence; A Carpenter’s Building, Homes for His Poems; and, Some Tanka in Thanks to Elroy, Not the Most Cantankerous Dog. Other poems of his have appeared ‘Here and There,’ which hopefully sounds like quite a journal.
A full length manuscript he has high hopes for is, “Between Merwin and Greger, Overtones of Poetry.” Poems there play off of quotes from both W.S. Merwin’s, Migration, and Debora Greger’s, The 1002nd
