Carpenter Poets of Jamaica Plain
Nearly ten years ago, a group of carpenters started meeting at a local pub after work to share their poetry with each other. The Carpenter Poets were born. They see a connection between carpentry and writing and seek to explore life through the tools they use to build the world around them. Come here their wonderful and varied work. They have found an ideal venue in Forsyth Chapel, as a place that embodies the poetry of carpentry is perfectly suited for the poetry of carpenters.
