READINGS
Claire Marsden
Whilst chronic pain and disability are Claire's daily companions, it is through nature and writing that she finds both the meaning and the means to make sense of the world in which she lives. Through her articles and poems, published on Tiny Buddha, Having Time, and Marias at Sampaguitas she strives to help others navigate the often complex realities of life. The natural world is a constant companion through many of her pieces and her poetry reflects this as she explores the human spirit. Find her on Twitter @occulife or on the web www.hopehikesandhealing.com
Maria S. Picone
Maria S. Picone has an MFA from Goddard College. She’s interested in cultural issues, identity, and memory. As a Korean adoptee in an Italian American family and a New Englander, her obsessions with noodles, seafood, and the ocean are hardly her fault. Her poetry appears in Homestead Review, Ariel Chart, Headline Poetry, and Route 7 Review. Her Twitter is @mspicone, and her website is mariaspicone.com. Here, she reads "Elegy for A.," which was originally published in Homestead Review.

Alex Smith
With a foot firmly each side of the Irish Sea, Alex Smith was raised in troubled Northern Ireland during the Eighties.

He edits at ‘ABCTales’ and has a collection entitled ‘I dreamt I wrote another me’ available through Cerasus Poetry and Amazon.
