Stone Soup Poetry will no longer be meeting in person at
Fort Point Arts Community's Assemblage Gallery. We will be meeting online for the foreseeable future. To celebrate the last day of Stone Soup's anniversary month, join us tonight on May 31 as longtime Stone Soup friends Carol Weston and Margaret Wesel give us a double feature online.
Carol Weston's history as a poet is linked to such figures as Jack
Powers, John Wieners, Robert Lowell, Allen Ginsburg, and Carl Solomon
(to whom Allen Ginsburg's "Howl" was dedicated). Her credentials include
being poetry editor of the Impressions Workshop. She was published in
the Farleigh Dickinson Journal, alongside Donald Justice,
Phillip Levine, and Anne Sexton. She is also the author of “What the
Poet Expects of Himself,” an essay published in the Tufts Review. Married to John Galloway, science teacher at Endicott College, she taught for ten years at the Chestnut Hill School.
She read alongside Jack Powers and Allen Ginsberg in 1973 in the former Charles Street Universalist Church. In the Winter of 1983, she was asked by Powers to feature in Boston's City Hall along with John Wieners. On May 1, 2011, Carol performed her poem "Peace Fire" alongside musician Jon Voight for Stone Soup Poetry's 40th anniversary celebration and tribute to Jack Powers, Stone Soup's late founder. In 2013, she was one of the panelists for "Stone Soup Poetry: A Retrospective," presented at the Massachusetts Poetry Festival in Salem, Massachusetts.
Her poetry credits include The Farleigh Literary Review, BOMB, Stone Soup Anthology 2003, Spoonful, Stone Soup Presents: Fresh Broth and the anthology dedicated to John Wieners, The Blind See Only This World. Her chapbook, Spirals, Whorls Sutures, Septa, was published by Stone Soup Poetry in 1978.
