The Poetry Extravaganza with Christine Quirk

October 15, 2025 @ 6:30 pm 8:30 pm

Join us at The Mill in West Boylston on October 15th!

The Mill is right off Rt. 190, has a spacious parking lot, serves delectable apps, entrees, and desserts with a full bar. We have a separate room for our monthly shenanigans. Admission is still free. All of the Tip Jar proceeds go to the Feature.

The Poetry Extravaganza (PE) takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, except in July, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Sign up for the open mic at jfjr6969@gmail.com. Five minutes maximum, please! There are no language restrictions. We are not kid-friendly!

Our Feature Poet on October 15th is Christine Quirk from the Worcester Writers’ Collective and, sadly, a Red Sox devotee. Mark Lewandowski of Lewandowski Painters sponsors our event. That’s how we pay the poets!

Join the Fun on Thursday, October 15th!

Bio: Christine Quirk has worn many hats in her world of words and has been a reporter, columnist, poet, and editor. She’s found her writing community at the Worcester Writers’ Collective, for which she is a facilitator. She worked as a kindergarten assistant for many years and is now at the Beaman Library in West Boylston in the children’s room, introducing the next generation to magic tree houses, wizarding schools, and remarkable girls.

Christine’s debut novel, Blind Spot, will be released next summer. When she isn’t writing or reading, she is most likely riding the highs and lows of her lifelong devotion to the Red Sox.
