It's doubtful to me that there's more literary fun to be had in Boston than at the Dire. With Rusty Barnes and the chick from Word Riot, January should be worth going to:
Out of the Blue Art Gallery, 106 Prospect Street, Cambridge, Ma
Friday, January 4, 2008--Open Mic starts at 8 (4 up to 15 minute slots)
Rusty Barnes grew up in rural northern Appalachia. He received his B.A. from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania and his M.F.A. from Emerson College. His fiction, poetry and non-fiction have appeared in many journals. After editing fiction for the Beacon Street Review (now Redivider) and Zoetrope All-Story Extra, he co-founded Night Train, a recently reinvented literary journal, which has been featured in the Boston Globe, The New York Times, and on National Public Radio. Sunnyoutside Press published a collection of his flash fiction in November 2007.
Jackie Corley was born in 1982. She developed Word Riot in March 2002 with the help of Paula Anderson. Word Riot Press, an independent publishing press, evolved out of the magazine in January 2003.
Jackie's writing has appeared on-line at MobyLives.com, 3AM Magazine and SerialText and in print in BOOM! For Real (BNS) and Consumed: Women on Excess (So New Media).
Jackie Corley is represented by Blauner Books Literary Agency.
HARRIS GARDNER's poetry has been published in The Jewish Advocate, The Harvard Review, Midstream, The Aurorean, Providence Journal, Spare Change News; Ibbetson Street Journal, City of Poets Anthology, Main Street Rag, Poesy, Vallum (Canada), Pemmican, I Refused to Die—A Holocaust Study by Susie Davidson, and about fifty other publications. He received Honorable Mention in the New England Poetry Club's 2005 Boyle-Farber Prize, 2004, and was nominated for the Pushcart Prize in 2005. With Lainie Senechal he coauthored the volume of poetry, Chalice of Eros. His most recent collection, Among Us, was published by Èervená Barva Press in 2007. He is host of three poetry venues, cofounder of Boston National Poetry Month Festival, and Poet-in-Residence, Endicott College from 2002 to 2005.
