I’m very sad to have missed Jill McDonough’s reading at On the Dot Books. She’s one of my favorite Boston poets and the director of the UMass Boston MFA program in Creative Writing. Oh, well. At least I can still buy one of her books.

Many other fine readings abound as the days turn short and crispy. And if you’re pinching your pennies in anticipation of Christmas/Yule/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus shopping, please note: Poetry readings are usually free.
