SUMMARY:A Virtual Thirsty Lab with Paul Szlosek
DESCRIPTION:The Thirsty Lab poetry reading\, normally based out of Princeton\, Mass.\, continues to meet virtually. On Tuesday\, July 29th\, 2025 Paul Szlosek will be the featured reader. Please Click Here to register. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Szlosek is a poet\, photographer\, blogger\, magician\, and “cranial fermenter” (a term he has personally coined) born in Southbridge\, Massachusetts\, but currently residing in the nearby metropolis of Worcester. A recipient of the 2001 Jacob Knight Award for Poetry\, the 2023 Stanley Kunitz Medal\, and the 2024 Frank O’Hara Poetry Prize\, he has served as co-founder and co-host of both the Poet’s Parlor and Poetorium at Starlite open mic & reading series. His poetry have appeared in numerous local & national print & online publications including The Worcester Review\, Worcester Magazine\, Radius\, Sahara\, Concrete Wolf\, Soul-Lit\, Diner\, Poetry as Promised\, & Silkworm. Paul is probably best known in the Central Massachusetts poetry community for his fanatical obsession with obscure poetry forms\, and has invented his own including the ziggurat\, the streetbeatina\, the hodgenelle\, the lux\, and the singsangsong which he often shares with readers on his poetry blog Paul’s Poetry Playground. He has also gained a legendary reputation\, for some inexplicable reason\, as a poet whom no one wants to follow in an open reading. Paul’s first collection of poetry tentatively titled Pretense\, Portents\, & the Farmer’s Son will be published by Metaphysical Fox Press in the hopefully not-too-distant future.

SUMMARY:Inside the Kunitz Family
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a probing discussion of how life relates to art and the challenges of writing a biography. We’ll focus on one of Worcester’s best-known poets\, Stanley Kunitz (1905-2006)\, who summed up the family dynamic that shaped his identity in the opening lines of “The Portrait”: “My mother never forgave my father/ for killing himself\,/ especially at such an awkward time.” Kunitz’s mother\, who was then pregnant with him\, suppressed all traces of his father’s existence — leading to his lifelong yearning for his other parent and his estrangement from Worcester itself\, until a friendship late in life helped him to heal. \n\n\n\nJames Dempsey\, a journalist\, novelist\, poet\, and author of The Tortured Life of Schofield Thayer\, will share his findings from his research on a biography of Kunitz. Judith Ferrara\, a painter\, poet\, and scholar\, recently published A Feast of Losses: Yetta Dine and Her Son\, the Poet Stanley Kunitz. \n\n\n\nKunitz’s entry in the 1922 Classical High School Argus\, courtesy Museum of Worcester\n\n\n\nThis event\, organized by Mapping Worcester in Poetry\, is part of the new Poem Next Door exhibit at the Museum of Worcester — which features Kunitz — as well as a celebration of the poet’s birthday that culminates in awarding the annual Stanley Kunitz Medal on July 31. The exhibit will be open for viewing at 5:30 pm before the program.  \n\n\n\nThis event is FREE as part of Museum of Worcester’s 150th anniversary. To attend\, please register here.
