We’re pleased to announce that The Cincinnati Review is sponsoring the third annual Word Without End reading in Cincinnati, a three-hour open-mic marathon, from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.

We’ll convene in the biergarten at Christy’s in Clifton, where there will be sustenance and suds a-plenty. Past highlights: naughty PowerPoint presentations, Justin Bieber tribute bands, and readings with props. Join us for a yammery, jammery evening of rapidfire entertainment (10-minute time limit per act).

This cross-genre extravaganza is open to University of Cincinnati students, faculty, staff, and people from the community who want to perform something related to this year’s theme: Aspiration. (Aspiration: 1. the act of aspirating (blowing), 2. the withdrawal by means of suction of fluids from the body, 3. a strong desire.)

Special guest Margaret Luongo (Miami University) will read her fiction. Email editors@cincinnatireview.com to sign up or for more information, and see you in the biergarten!
