Featuring
KEVIN VARRONE (Poet; Philadelphia)
JOSHUA MARCUS (Songwriter & Musician; Philadelphia)
CAREN BEILIN (Fiction Writer; Philadelphia)

KEVIN VARRONE is the author of the chapbooks g-point Almanac, 6/21-9/21 (ixnay press 2000) and g-point Almanac, 9/22-10/19 (duration press e-book series 2002). His first full length collection is due from Instance Press in Spring 2007.

JOSHUA MARCUS sings honest compositions about the extraordinary circumstances inherent in everyday living. There is urgency in his music. With plucked banjo and finger-picked guitar, he beckons the audience to engage in each performance with him.

CAREN BEILIN is a fiction writer recently returned to Philadelphia from a long, somewhat wonderful stint in Chicago. She has published short stories in Zembla Magazine, Quarterly West, 3:AM Magazine, and other places. An essay on writing will soon appear in a Rizzoli book entitled How I Write, alongside a picture of her apartment's water heater, which is what she leans upon when writing, and which informs her stories with visions of the sea.
