arts ‘Radical Inclusion’
All Words Welcome in ‘Gateway: Gulfport Poets’ By Abby Baker
PETER HARGITAI
Peter Hargitai is Gulfport’s poet laureate and the editor of “Gateway: Gulfport Poets.”
The recently published book of poetry, “Gateway: Gulfport Poets” features the musings of 12 local writers, including Gulfport Mayor Sam Henderson, as well as a retired hypnotherapist Dianne Marlene Kress. The collection serves as a fundraiser for The Circle of Friends of the Gulfport Library and is edited by Gulfport’s poet laureate, Peter Hargitai, who allowed anyone with a passion for words to have a spot in the collection. Hargitai spent three years waiting on a rejection from an American publishing company before taking the book to an India-based publisher, Cyberwit.net. The first official copies came out in June. “I accepted anyone with a passion for poetry, who writes poetry, that’s all it takes,” Hargitai said. “Radical inclusion, that’s what I’ll call it.” The 200 pages are filled with the hyper-contrasting work of Vincent Spina, Stone Handy, Molly Ellowis, Michael Henry Fridovich, Jude Bagatti, Nadine Miller, Rob McCabe, Michael Arthur Taylor, Ellen Noto, Henderson, Kress and Bob Bates. The Circle of Friends, a nonprofit dedicated to bettering the local library, receives a portion of sales, though, in Hargitai’s words, it’s not exactly a get rich quick scheme.
