On Thursday, September 17th at 7 p.m., the members of Southshire Roundtable will present " Sweating Ink," a program of new fiction and poetry at the J.G. McCullough Free Library in North Bennington.

The theme is used to illustrate both the process of writing and, as you will hear, ink that sweats from pens and pores used literally within the narratives. Highlights will include: Taisha Marks reading three poems beginning with "The Rastaman's Lament," a political rant delivered in her native Jamaican accent. Poet, Kerin Sulock will read several new lyrical pieces set in the local landscape. "The Bear's Apology," by Brandon Ayre, is a humorous tale about a bear who writes like Dickens and rolls his own cigarettes. Shawn MacKENZIE spins "When Yeti Crabs Dance," an other-worldly tale of hunting legends, getting lost, and finding oneself along the way. "Play Time" by Eric Devine is the account of a teenage boy who accidentally kills his best friend while playing a high-risk game. John Goodrich's "Sweating Ink" follows Jimmy the Squid's escape from a chain gang and subsequent flight across a Southern landscape. In a piece about music, Stefano Donati reads his heartfelt "Close to Home." In Krishna Stark's "The Life," the narrator grapples with the unpredictability of her character. "Ghost Gum Trees" by Marie White Small features a quirky American aunt who visits her charming nine-year-old nephew in Australia.

Following the readings, refreshments will be served. The program is free and open to the public.
