March 15: Gale Batchelder Features at Stone Soup



Stone Soup Poetry meets from 8-10 p.m. every Monday at the Out of The Blue Art Gallery at 106 Prospect Street with an open mike sign-up at 7:30 p.m. On March 15th, we continue our reputation of presenting new voices by featuring past Goba Salon feature, Gale Batchelder.

Gale Batchelder lives in Cambridge. She recently resumed writing poetry after a hiatus of many years. She has studied poetry in Provincetown, New York, and Cambridge, with Elizabeth Alexander, Gail Mazur, John Yau, and Tom Daley. Gale has read her poetry at a number of venues in and around Cambridge and is a member of the Concord Poetry Center and Grub Street Writers. Gale is a co-founder of the cooperative poetry press “Off the Park Press” (New York City). Her poems are included in the anthology New Smoke, a collection inspired by the paintings of Neo Rauch, a contemporary neo-realist German artist. Gale received her BA in philosophy from Beloit College, holds Master's degrees from Boston University and Harvard, and is the founder of New Leadership Group, a consulting firm serving non-profit organizations internationally.
