WILD NIGHTS
by Emily Dickinson
Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds
To a heart in port,
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart!
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in Thee!

“Barry Hellman's well-crafted poems have their own distinctive voice, one which combines realism and wistfulness: at first the reader notices their poignant engagement with memory, and their perceptive compassion for human nature. But these poems also possess a toughness, a blunt frankness about the ways that people treat and mistreat each other ; finally, one starts to notice a subtle layer of Jewish mysticism, which suggests that this life is all right; that it is all a dance; and that we ourselves have made it up. Thus, The King of Newark arrives.”
—Tony Hoagland, author of What Narcissism Means To Me
and
Unincorporated Persons In The Late Honda Dynasty
“Barry Hellman’s poems are observant, warm, and wry. His eye for detail continually delights and surprises the reader, and his instinct for telling moments extracts new insight from familiar situations. One of the pleasures of this book is watching the poet move from childhood with its street corner gods through middle age, gracefully and bravely.”
— Keith Althaus, author of Rival Heavens and Ladder Of Hours

in our intimate new space
where the sound quality is superb!
Directions:
Take the mid-Cape highway, Rte. 6, to Exit 8. Take Station Ave. south toward Bass River. Follow Station Ave. to where it merges with North Main St., then through the lights at the intersection with Rte. 28. The Cultural Center is on the left, one block from the lights, at #307 Old Main St.
From the West:
Take Rte. 28 to South Yarmouth. Just beyond the lights at the Pancake Man on the left, watch for a flashing yellow light where Old Main St. forks off to the right. Take Old Main until you are approaching a set of lights. #307 is on the right, a large brick building with our sign out front.
From the East:
Take Rte 28 to the first set of lights after you cross the Bass River. Turn left onto Old Main St. and proceed one block to the Cultural Center on the left, #307.
Coming from the Outer Cape
I've gone this way:
1. Mid-Cape Route 6 West
2. Exit 9A
(Exit 9A is only 1/4 mile after you pass Exit 9B, easy to miss if distracted- get in right lane to be ready to exit)
3. The 9A exit takes you on to Route 134 South
3. Keep going on 134 South until you get to Route 28 North
4. Turn Right on Route 28 North
5. Stay on Route 28 North until you go over the Bass River Bridge ( sign on bridge saying 'Entering Yarmouth')
6. Get in left lane and go up to the traffic light (Christy's Dunkin Donuts and Exxon Station on your left)
7. Turn left at the light on to Old Main St.
8. A very short distance on your left you'll see a parking lot and the Cultural Center building
( a converted brick building, formerly a bank).
