Reading Like a Writer

Night falls early. Stores and shops have mostly shuttered for the winter. The mercury in the thermometer can barely get out of bed it’s so cold outside. To fight, or maybe perhaps to embrace, the quiet, the solititude, the blues, you know what you’ve been doing. You’ve been writing. But you’ve been keeping it a secret for too long. Time to let your light shine.

Next Tuesday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. the Vineyard Haven Public Library is hosting an evening of readings of original works by Vineyard scribes and scribblers. Poety, prose, something in between, it’s all welcome. The only catch is that you must be brief; five minutes or less. But there’s always the chance, depending on how many brave souls step forward, of going twice. So come prepared with ample material.
