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 III


There’s a be-bop de-bop in the square

Something’s always going down

Sounds of a circus coming to town

Be-Bo-De-Bop
Be-Bo-De-Bop

Right here in the core of Dudley Square

The colorful cartoon reality ringing

Out another rhythmic beat

Marvin Gaye – “What’s Going On”

Be-Bo-De-Bop
Be-Bo-De-Bop

A woman hungry is asking for a dollar

Be-Bo-De-Bop
Be-Bo-De-Bop
           
Preacher man preaching from the good book

Be-Bo-De-Bop
Be-Bo-De-Bop

See the man on crack walking unsteadily toward you
Asking for your money

Be-Bo-De-Bop
