With a full house and eight special readers on hand, the Chestertown Spy hosted a centennial celebration of T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” at the Garfield Center last night. In this Spycam moment, Spy publisher Dave Wheelan and Spy managing editor Jim Dissette welcome Eliot scholar Tom Cousineau, historian Judy Kohl, writers Jane Scott and Mary Wood, poet Meredith Davies Hadaway, musician Tom McHugh, artist Alex Castro and author Stan Salett for a community recital of the epic poem.
The evening was a fundraiser for the Chestertown Spy’s news coverage of the arts, sponsored in part through the kind support of Nina Houghton, Chris Havemeyer, Andy & Leslie Price, and the Kent County Arts Council.
