Poet, John Ronan’s newest book, Taking the Train of Singularity South from Midtown is about coming together, with the title poem about riding the One Train in Manhattan and celebrating the diversity of people, the e pluribus people. Join Ronan for a talk and reading as he introduces his poetry and the personal connections to Gloucester found in his most recent work, including "Good Harbor, Home," which was written for and read at John Bell's first inauguration as Mayor of Gloucester. Through Taking the Train of Singularity South from Midtown Ronan hopes to convey that love and language create community.
