If it’s the Monday after Thanksgiving, it must be the Carpenter Poets of Jamaica Plain giving their annual reading. The Carpenter Poets, who include former Boston Poet Laureate Sam Cornish and who have been featured everywhere from Chronicle to The Boston Globe, write poems about — what else — carpentry. These guys (and one gal) know how to build a verse.
It all happens at the Puddingstone Tavern at Brigham Circle. Free hors d’oeuvres thrown in.
Leave your tool belt at home, but if you have a poem about carpentry, bring it along! You just might get a chance to recite.
Did You Know?
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
