CATHOLIC (SURVIVING ABUSE & OTHER DEAD END ROAD
THE POEMS
A Reading & Book Signing At the Uxbridge Public Library
15 North Main Street
Uxbridge, MA
Catholic (Surviving Abuse & Other Dead End Roads) The Poems By Skip Shea Thursday, June 15 6:30 to 8 PM
"Catholic: Surviving Abuse and Other Dead End Roads" is a collection of poetry performed in the stage production of the same name, a one-man theatrical memoir by Skip Shea. The show has been performed at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York and weekly in February at Jimmy Tingle's OFF BROADWAY Theater in Somerville. The collection of poems traces a life of tragedy, from enduring sexual abuse at the hands of priests at St. Mary’s Parish in the Diocese of Worcester, Mass., to the death of his sixteen-year-old daughter Shawna. A life filled with substance abuse, mental illness and suicide attempts, Shea's poetry takes us through despair to find hope and healing. "Catholic: Surviving Abuse and Other Dead End Roads" is published by Katherine James Books. The Friends of the Library will be serving light refreshments and there will be a brief question and answer period at the end of the reading. |

The Highest Heights Are Obtained By Those That Reach The Greatest Depths: My mother use to say that all things that don't kill you, should make you stronger...I enjoyed hearing about this matter...Yet, I'm still at a total loss to understand the thinking of some people;Mainly those in positions of trust and authority? Thanks for the info Jessie.I'll leave at that for fear offending someone it's not intended for... Peace & Hope, John |

I was catholic. I miss some of the mystery, and hallowed peace. I experienced much of the sanctity
promoted by the church. I found that it was an incredible illusion and now have my own relationship with God, |
