What a great evening we had at 14 Limerock Street in Rockport on 22 September. Ten of my clients each read a piece. The variety of tone, voice, content was astonishing. The pieces reflected the enormous amount of work that went into each piece, and the careful thought about how to present the pieces.

The conversation was across gender, age, experience. We talked about being human and being writers, appreciating and loving each writer’s place in all of this.

Finally — the food, the place the drink —a home where we can feel everyone belongs.

It was an exceptional evening — thanks to all the readers and friends who helped make it so.
