Press Excerpt:
Chelsea Poetry Walk a Huge Success
Lorenzo Recupero was a sports correspondent and writer for The Boston Globe, so he’s been to the mountaintop in the field of journalism.
His work in founding and coordinating The Chelsea Poetry Walk and creating a forum for poets in Chelsea to showcase their poety adds another worthy dimension to Recupero’s noteworthy writing career.
Recupero brought together 20 poets for the Third Annual Poetry Walk on a summer-like day at Luther Place.
The poems were inspiring and reflective, from Lisa Santagate’s “Under the New is the Old,” to Amaliena Phonesavanh’s “My American Dream, Words from My Mother.”
Professional photographer Jay Velez entertained the audience with his clever “Dig, the lone interactive poem in the program. As in the previous Poetry Walks, Velez was a clear favorite with an enthusiastic audience.
