Bob Brodsky will be a speaker at this year’s Newburyport Literary Festival in Newburyport, MA.
Bob has pursued parallel interests in issues of justice, visual harmonies, and community vitality. As a member of the clergy he wrestled with the opportunities of the 1960s, as a filmmaker and television technician he works to support film artists and archivists, and as an amateur singer and writer he does what he can to prompt appreciation of varied approaches to familiar themes. In 2005 he completed a memoir, Marching Bands Make Me Cry , to honor five individuals who have greatly informed him. And as a lucky one who had the opportunity to sit with Robert Frost, Richard Niebuhr, and Jean Rouch, he is glad to lend his voice to the Polyphony.
