Chapter and Verse is an established literary reading series that takes place at the Revolutionary War-era Loring Greenough House in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, a neighborhood of Boston. Three selected writers of fiction or poetry read for the crowd of about forty, followed by refreshments and book signings. Although readers are not paid, the sponsor of Chapter and Verse, Jamaica Pond Poets, purchases a book from each reader and donates it to the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library. Readings are usually the second Friday of each month from October through June.
