Literary Firsts

Monday night’s reading was not to be missed. Dolan Morgan kicked us off with a surreal and hilarious excerpt from his recent collection, That’s When the Knives Come Down; Wesley Rothman shared some surprisingly sensual poems; Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich read a portion from her work-in-progress, featuring a slew of intriguingly dangerous characters; and Sam Cha read a delightfully masochistic confessional essay.

Just in case you couldn’t be there, you can still check out the photos below and the videos here.

A million thanks to the readers and everyone who came out. It was a fantastic evening and I can’t wait to see everyone in January!

Dolan Morgan is the space between mathematics and eros.

Can’t wait to see you there, Boston!
