A Galère of Poetic Autopsies

A Galère of Poetic Autopsies is held the first Thursday of each month at Hudson’s historic Park Theater. Expect the unexpected as poets, writers, and other creatives from the Hudson area and beyond reveal the inspiration and shadows behind their work.

Featuring in March: Dust Bowl Faeries Duet (Ryder Cooley & Jon B. Woodin), John Kearns (with Siobhan Regan), and Sidney Long.

Hosted by Jane Ormerod and John L Lawson.

$10 suggested donation to go to performers.

A faerie-tale fusion of dark folk, gothic polka and post-punk music, DUST BOWL FAERIES is a dark-carnival band from the New York Hudson Valley. The band’s eclectic repertoire of songs draw inspiration from circus, murder ballads and Eastern European folk tunes.

JOHN KEARNS is the author of the short-story collection, Dreams and Dull Realities and the novels, The World, and Worlds. His plays include Boann and the Well of Wisdom and Sons of Molly Maguire. John is happy and proud to have his cousin, SIOBHAN REGAN, performing with him.

SIDNEY LONG moved to Hudson in 2016 after spending twenty years as an aspiring filmmaker and writer in New York City and then moving to Newport, Rhode Island. Since moving to Hudson, she has written two screenplays and sold several series of photographs of Hudson to a prominent New York art advisor. She is currently writing about her time as a cashier at NYC’s world-famous restaurant, La Grenouille. In October 2023, Sidney exhibited her poems and photographs at Window On Hudson.
