Daisy Mathias’ poetry show
Posted in Uncategorized on October 12, 2020| 2 Comments »
We received the following announcement from Daisy’s husband and daughter about her final show, which will be broadcast today.
Dearest family and friends,
It is with a bittersweet mix of feelings that we’d like to announce the FINAL, ONE-HOUR long show of Daisy’s radio program, “Poetry à la Carte” on Monday, October 12th from 5:00 – 6:00pm (EDT).
Poetry à la Carte has run for well over 600 shows now, since 2006! And, while Daisy would have liked to record a final show herself, we think she’d be pretty happy with what we’ve put together – an entire show of Daisy reading her own poetry (gathered from many years of the Poetry à la Carte archives). The first half of the show will be a revisit of Daisy’s 600th show, and the second half will be some additional poems and reminiscences of Daisy’s.
So please join us this coming Monday, Oct 12th from 5:00 – 6:00pm for this ONE HOUR show. *
PLEASE NOTE: This show is going out on broadcast radio, so it won’t be available for delayed listening later. Please join us at 5:00pm EST!

– If you live in the Western MA listening area, you can tune your radio dial to the UMass radio station (WMUA 91.1).

In memoriam
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Daisy Mathias on July 1, 2020| 4 Comments »
Those of us who organize and produce the annual WriteAngles conference recently learned of the death of Daisy Mathias, a much admired and well-liked member of our group. For years she has helped to plan the conference, contributing both her wisdom and enthusiasm. For several years she served as the planning committee’s coordinator. More recently she has organized poetry panels and workshops. We will miss her terribly.

Ann Hood at the Odyssey Bookshop March 18
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Ann Hood, bookshop appearance, new novel, The Obituary Writer on March 5, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Ann Hood, our keynoter at last year’s conference, will be reading and signing her new novel The Obituary Writer at 7pm on Monday, March 18. There will also be an open book group discussion of Ann’s book The Red Thread led by Elli Meeropol at 6pm. Read More.
Book summary: On the day John F. Kennedy is inaugurated, Claire, an uncompromising young wife and mother obsessed with the glamour of Jackie O, struggles over the decision of whether to stay in a loveless marriage or follow the man she loves and whose baby she may be carrying. Decades earlier, in 1919, Vivien Lowe, an obituary writer, is searching for her lover who disappeared in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. By telling the stories of the dead, Vivien not only helps others cope with their grief but also begins to understand the devastation of her own terrible loss. The surprising connection between Claire and Vivien will change the life of one of them in unexpected and extraordinary ways. Part literary mystery and part love story, The Obituary Writer examines expectations of marriage and love, the roles of wives and mothers, and the emotions of grief, regret, and hope.
The 7 pm reading and signing requires the purchase of the book or a $5 event ticket.

Our 27th annual WriteAngles conference is now over. Thanks again to everyone who made it a success.
We will begin planning for the 28th conference sometime in January of 2013 (TBA). If you are interested in becoming one of the planners, please let us know (Click on Contact Us in the right hand column). We are an all-volunteer group that depends on fresh approaches to stay relevant to the needs of writers. We particularly need people who have ideas for panel topics and are willing to help organize panels by recruiting panelists. But if you just want to come to a meeting to see how it goes, feel free to do so.
