Sep 25, John Perrault & Friends
Location: United Methodist Church, 60 Dow Highway, Eliot ME
Presented by Ahlgren, Perrault & Turner, PA

Outgoing Portsmouth Poet Laureate, John Perrault, described as "New Hampshire's premier balladeer," performed several pieces from his critically acclaimed book, The Ballad of Louis Wagner and Other New England Stories in Verse, poems from his just released collection, Here Comes the Old Man Now, and selected songs from his various recordings.

Special guest harmonica wizard, Mike Rogers, joined in on songs from John's award-winning CD "Rough Cuts."

Rebecca Rule, reviewer for the Concord Monitor said about Perrault's work, "This is essential New Hampshire: our history, people, geography, and culture&.A classic."

Betsy Scholl's review of Here Comes the Old Man Now said, "Jhn Perrault has an eye for the way daily life can become suddenly luminous, and an ear--an unerring ear--for vivid and precise language, for the nuances that shift such language into song. He is equally adept at free and formal verse, converting his rich insights into delicate lyrics of desire, regret and awe. Whether he's talking about family or his New England coastal landscape, matters of physical health or travels to distant lands, we can trust that this poet is willing to 'tread in the dark between waves, waiting for whatever it is' that will 'open to us underneath our lives and speak.'"
