Featured Reader: Daniel Sklar

Maybe one of the best things Daniel Sklar ever did was to help organize the Endicott College service workers and their vote to join the union, Unite Here, Local 26. It took guts for sixty people to sign up in the face of management intimidation. Union or no union, the owners of Sodexo will always have their yachts and fancy country clubs while the workers scrape by to survive. He teaches Creative Writing at Endicott College, and has been published in the Harvard Review, English Journal, Beat Scene, and the New York Quarterly among other journals. His books include Flying Cats, Hack Writer, and Bicycles, Canoes, Drums. His forthcoming  books are Bring a Tiger with You and You Do it Creative Writing Kit.




Upcoming meetings: The third Friday of every other month in fall, winter, and spring. January 16, 2026; March 20, 2026, May 15, 2026
