VX08 - Reading Ferrini - A Gallery Talk with Peter Anastas & David Rich - 09-14-2013

Lecture transcript: http://bit.ly/reading-ferrini

From 2013 Press Release: The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Reading Ferrini, a gallery conversation with Peter Anastas and David Rich on the life and work of writer Vincent Ferrini, on Saturday, September 14 at 2:00 p.m. This program is free for members or with Museum admission.

Space is limited, reservations are required. Anastas and Rich, both established writers in their own right, will lead a discussion on Ferrini (1913-2007), the poet who lived and worked in Gloucester for sixty years and whose literary magazine--Four Winds--gave its name to the current Cape Ann Museum

exhibition of avant-garde art from 1950's Rocky Neck, an era in the Rocky Neck art scene that saw Ferrini as a central player. As a compliment to the Four Winds show, the two will reprise their talk presented at the Gloucester Writers Center last spring, which marked the occasion of Ferrini's 100th

birthday. Drawing from the Museum's own archives, they will offer new research on his childhood, political activities in Lynn, his literary friendships and rarely-seen volumes of his early poetry.
