FAN OGILVIE – Her New poems were inspired by the Mayflower’s crossing, 400 years ago.
In the year 1620, a woman boarded the Mayflower with dreams of a life of promise in the colonies. One of only 19 women, the traveler took her seat aboard the historic vessel, securing the very last berth on the entire ship. As the journey commenced, she wondered what the New World would bring.
This is the story that Fan Ogilvie, former poet laureate of West Tisbury, imagines in her upcoming book of poetry on the Mayflower, The Berth.
“It was a place for dreams, and work. It wouldn’t be easy, but in time we’d be told,” writes Ms. Ogilvie in the book’s title poem, The Last Berth on the Mayflower.

JESSE KELLER JASON – DANCER
John OToole, a problem child, all grown up, has been faking his way through gigs for the past 40 years. His approach to playing guitar is pugilistic and neanderthal. He sings like a thrush (of the throat). He also writes songs that are not terrible, even if “trite and didactic.”
To his credit he has self-produced an album named “John OToole’s Greatest Hits That No One Has Ever Heard,” of which he has the sole copy.
