   Chad Parenteau's Blurbs
About me:
myspace backgrounds

In order (from an abridged list, leaving out things like mechanical bull-riding), I've been: a young spaz, a mediocre high school student, a landlord's lackey a mediocre martial arts student, a chess club member, a dishwasher, a better-than average college student, a college newspaper reporter and editor, a factory gopher, a "real" reporter, an overwhelmed and outclassed graduate creative writing student, a Starbucks employee, a waiter, an alternative press reporter, a potential husband and stepfather, a lost cause, a file clerk, a research assistant, a retinal photographer, a trainer, a teacher, an organizer, a herald of doom, a beacon of hope, and a mystery carelessly wrapped by holiday help in an enigma with "WTF" written on the bow. If the word "poet" comes out in my obituary after all that, I'll be happy.

I've lived and worked in the Boston area for over a decade. By day, I labor in the various local VA Healthcare Systems. By night, I host and/or promote the long-running Stone Soup Poetry series in Cambridge (8-10 PM every Monday night).

In addition to all that, I continue to send my work out to various publications. My work can be found in print and online.

Now I have a new chapbook out: Discarded: Poems for My Apartments. from Cervena Barva Press.
You can order it online at The Lost Bookshelf.

Find out more about the French Connections Anthology I've recently been published in.

I am generally a creature of Blogger. Click here for my "official" blog. Still, I'm interested in seeing what I can do here. I hope you comeback to visit this page often. If you're an editor and/or publisher, let me know if you want to use my work.

Check out the online anthology I edit called Spoonful: A Gathering of Stone Soup Poets

Check out my YouTube videos. Poetry, observations, and my sister's dog.

Keep checking back here for more news, including info on the upcoming Stone Soup Poetry MySpace page.
