Kevin O’Hara – The Ins and Outs of a Locked Ward - book talk at the Williams Bookstore

Kevin O’Hara worked for three decades as a psychiatric nurse at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. There he brought to his patients the same warmth and humor that won him acclaim for his first two memoirs, Last of the Donkey Pilgrims, and A Lucky Irish Lad. Now he tells the stories of the many colorful characters he encountered on the locked ward over all those years, and of the camaraderie of hospital workers. Kevin O’Hara, a retired R.N. following a 30-year career at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, MA, is also the proud recipient of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Award. Kevin is also a longtime contributing columnist for The Berkshire Eagle, and was Writer-in-Residence at Herman Melville’s farmhouse, Arrowhead, in 2020. Books will be on hand for sale and signing.
