About Us



We are a group of writers based in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

In art history, pentimenti are painted-over images which reappear once the surface layer begins to fade. These ghostly images tell a story about the artist's evolving thought process.

We as writers mine our pasts, imaginations, and experiences to uncover our own pentimenti, the images that we paint over and hide but which eventually resurface one way or another. We come from different places and generations, but share a belief in the power of writing to challenge, heal, delight, and inspire.

Dudley Square II


Vegetable soup stirring, daddies maybe,
crying babies, mamas talking loud

Ebonics flying, see hips swinging?
Women, men walkin’ – or are they swaying?
Hear the wind blowing?
Birds chirping, flies flying
Sounds crying, tires screeching
Horns justa blowing
Culture moving
White, yellow, black and red
No need to salute a flag
Look at heat risin’!
Chicken gumbo soup in motion
Boiling!
What you say?
Poetry in motion
Swinging and justa swaying
Ha!  That’s Dudley Square!
