Host Stina French! Stina French hails from North Carolina, and if you look closely, you can still see the welts from the Bible Belt. After a stint in San Francisco, she joined the faculty of Red Rocks Community College in the Denver area. She is working on a mystery novel, Mistress Immaculate’s Murder Most Mildew, a magic-realist memoir-as-revision of the Biblical Flood story, and has a finished hybrid/experimental collection of pieces called Hope You Like Dick: An Erotic, Creative, Choose-An-Adventure Flash Memoir. She has featured at the Podeo, F-Bomb, At The Inkwell, The Running of the Gays, and Punketry.  Her work has appeared in Punch Drunk Press. She squeals like a pig and she means it. Find her on Facebook at Stina French, Ink or at Voicing the Body: Mistress Immaculate’s Blog.

Featuring Brice Maiurro!  Brice Maiurro is a Denver poet and organizer of events on the Front Range. Through his publishing company, Punch Drunk Press, he hosts several events around the city including Punketry! (in association with ALOC Media and Black Market Translation) and Punch Drunk Showcase, both of which operate out of Mutiny Info Café. His newest series, Beet Poetry, premiered this October at the Corner Beet in Cap Hill. Brice’s first collection of poems, Stupid Flowers, was released in June of 2017. He is currently working on his follow-up collection as well as a collection of short stories. He has performed widely at venues throughout the state of Colorado, including features at The Fox Theater, The Laughing Goat, Bouldering Poets, and Don’t Yell at Me. His writing has been featured by Birdy Magazine, The Lune, The Denver Post, The Denver Poetry Map and many other literary outlets. He has worked closely with local activist groups such as Denver Artists for Rent Control and the Denver Micro Suites. He hates the awkward silence while waiting for a debit card to process.
