U35 March 6: Ron Spalletta, Ori Fienberg, & Emily O'Neill

Tuesday, March 6th at 7:00 pm
The Marliave: Bosworth St, Boston
MBTA: Park Street / Downtown Crossing

U35 is a bi-monthly reading series for poets under the age of thirty five. Conceived as a space for greater community as well as diversity of voice and vision, U35 was selected as one of 2010's ten best new event series by the Boston Globe. On Tuesday, March 6th at 7:00 pm we are pleased to host Ron Spalletta, Ori Feinberg, and Emily O'Neill.

Ron Spalletta haphazardly completed an MFA in poetry, received both a grant and a celebratory breakfast buffet from the state of Massachusetts, and has been published in Chamber Four and Slate.

Ori Fienberg has had writing published a variety of places including Artifice, Kill Author, and the latest issue of the Mid-American Review. By day he works as the Lead Writing Specialist for Foundation Year, a Northeastern University first-year college program for Boston high school graduates. At night he counts Iowans to fall asleep.

Emily O'Neill is an artist, writer, and performer raised on half-truths and homespun mythology. She's performed her work on stages from Portland to Orlando as a member of the No More Ribcage tour, and at the 2010 National Poetry Slam. Her poetry and fiction has appeared in Pank, The Pedestal, and Side B Magazine, among others. She has a degree in the synesthesia of storytelling from Hampshire College and splits her time (and her heart) between Somerville, MA and Providence, RI.

This event is free and open to the public. Add it to your calendar on Facebook.
