Fire Island: The Tea
Tea time with Gil Neary in conversation with Jack Parlett.
A sunny Sunday afternoon conversation over tea with writer, poet, and scholar Jack Parlett and the late Fire Island Icon Gil Neary. A coming together from across different places and generations.
We are fortunate to have recorded this episode while our beloved neighbor and mentor, Gil, was alive and well. A true steward of the Pines and the LGBTQ+ community in and around NYC, Gil shares his perspective, insights, antics, and stories he was famous for.
In memory of Gil Neary (1957-2024).
Don't miss Gil's "Final Bow" and Jack's "Choose your own Adventure" in our printed publication of Fire Island Tea: The Second Edition | Summer 2024
