The Union Roundtable Reading for March will feature writers Andrew Chenevert, Frances Gossen, Chad Parenteau, and Ian Wilkins.

Time: 6:30 PM on Thursday, March 13, 2014
Location: Editorial Institute at Boston University, 143 Bay State Road

In the roundtable-style reading format, 3-5 readers around a seminar table take turns reading from their recent work, over the course of an hour or so, in a room overlooking the Charles River. Refreshments will be available during and after the event for all those in attendance.

This reading series is sponsored by the nonprofit Boston Poetry Union in order to provide another opportunity for readers and writers in the Boston area to come together and grow in appreciation of our local literary community. The series places a special emphasis on bringing together new and established writers, and in facilitating relationships among different literary publications, programs, and institutions.
