September 10: Mary Jennings Features at Stone Soup Poetry

  

Stone Soup Poetry meets every Wednesday online from 7:00-9:00 PM via Zoom. Stay tuned for updates on any future live gatherings. On September 10, we celebrate the return of Stone Soup alum Mary Jennings. 

 
Mary Jennings has read regularly with the Stone Soup Poets since their days at T.T. the Bear’s. A job relocation to Western Massachusetts kept her from returning to Stone Soup, except for occasional visits to her home turf. She has established herself in the poetry scene out there, and since the beginning of the pandemic became a regular on online open mics. Since her January 2022 Stone Soup feature, her work has been published in Meat for Tea, Oddball Magazine, and Exist Otherwise, an online literary journal. That same year, she was appointed to the Chicopee Cultural Council, for which she serves as secretary. She started up the Poetry and Spoken Word series at the Chicopee Public Library, which is now moderated by Don Fisher. Mary is putting together her first book of poetry and writing her first mystery novel, which she will read from this Wednesday. Mary and her cat Violet live in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

January 26: Mary Jennings Features at Stone Soup Poetry

Amidst the global pandemic, Stone Soup Poetry has been offering an online open mic via Zoom for anyone interested. This continues to receive an amazing response, and we appreciate everyone's participation.

Join us on January 26 as we welcome  Mary Jennings all the way from Western, Mass.

Mary Jennings has read regularly with the Stone Soup Poets during the early years at T.T. the Bear’s. A job relocation to Western Massachusetts kept her from returning to Stone Soup, except for occasional visits to her home turf. Nonetheless, she established herself in the open mic scene in Western Mass, including hosting an open mic poetry venue in Amherst for two years. She has gone from writing free-form narrative poetry to writing cinquains, an antiquated short poetic form she has found appropriate in succinctly expressing the human condition. Her poetry can be found on the Facebook page, The Poetry of Mary Jennings, and her illustrated cinquains can be found on Instagram @mkjennings121. Mary lives in Chicopee, Massachusetts with her cat Violet.
