Poetry Corner featuring North Andover Poet Laureate Christa Lamb
2026-02-21 12:00 - 13:00 | The Purple Couch Bookshop, 350 Winthrop Ave unit 9b, North Andover, 01845, United States
Poetry Corner is back, featuring the return of our newest North Andover Poet Laureate Christa Lamb.
Christa April Lamb is a Massachusetts-based poet and writer whose work moves from close, intimate observation into embodied protest and participatory poems that invite shared responsibility. Shaped by neurodivergent perception, her poetry examines how language behaves under pressure — in the body, in relationships, and in the world. Her recent work engages directly with the present moment, including poems about democracy, voice, and interruption, alongside deeply personal poems about love, loss, and orientation. Christa is currently working on a memoir about growing up undiagnosed autistic and finding language for a life finally understood. She also serves as Director of Media & Communications for Revolutionary Valley, where she shapes stories rooted in place and history through language, design, and visual media.

The Barzillai Lew Project: A Concert of Modern Revolutionary Music
2026-02-20 19:30 - 22:00 | Revolutionary Valley Regional Tourism Council, 240 Central Street, lowell, MA, 01852, United States
This February, history and music come together in The Barzillai Lew Project: A Concert of Modern Revolutionary Music, a powerful evening honoring one of the region’s most remarkable — and often overlooked — Revolutionary-era figures.
Presented by the Karayorgis Ensemble, the concert reimagines the legacy of Barzillai Lew (1743–1822) through modern jazz and improvised music, connecting Revolutionary history to 20th-century musical innovators and beyond.
Who Was Barzillai Lew?
Barzillai Lew was a free Black man born in Groton, Massachusetts, who became a celebrated fifer and drummer during the American Revolutionary War. He enlisted in May 1775 with Captain John Ford’s Company of the 27th Regiment out of Chelmsford and fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill alongside roughly three dozen other soldiers of African descent.
Lew spent much of his life in what is now the Greater Lowell area, including Pepperell, Chelmsford, and Dracut. After the war, he purchased farmland in Dracut (now part of Lowell), raised a family of 13 children, and became a respected member of the community. He is buried at the Clay Pit Cemetery in Lowell, just off Pawtucket Boulevard.
As a musician of exceptional talent, Lew is considered one of the earliest documented Black American musicians in U.S. military history.
