Poetry Unbound #21
Poetry Unbound revs up February with flash fiction and performance. Slam champion and prose writer Lisa Martinovic will plug us into some of her flashiest new pieces. New circuit sensation Peter Bullen will charge us with his extreme interpersonal humor and insight. And writer-performers Zarina Zabrisky and Simon Rogghe will present a multi-genre piece that promises to be completely unbound.
Poetry Unbound is a monthly reading series dedicated to presenting new work in a broad range of styles and genres, and to bringing together writers from different circles and communities, to strengthen and unite. We present passionate wordsmiths on the first Sunday of each month, with a brief open mic, at the Art House Gallery in Berkeley. Hosted by Oakland writers Clive Matson and Richard Loranger.

PERFORMER BIOS
Lisa Martinovic is a long-time slam poet, improv theater actor and essayist. She has featured everywhere from the Nuyorican and City Lights to Lollapalooza, LitQuake and BeastCrawl. Her writing appears in publications as diverse as the San Francisco Chronicle and The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. Lisa writes flash fiction for the unmitigated joy of it.
Peter (Thomas) Bullen, a Berkeley hairdresser who began writing at 49, sees his work as a happy collision between the tender and the preposterous, finding them affable companions on the page and in other interesting places. He was a Quiet Lightning (2014) Neighborhood Hero and a reader at Barely Published Authors for LitQuake 2014. His work has muddied up the pages of Sparkle and Blink, Blotterature, and Weave. On occasion, he is under the distinct impression that he has finished a novel. For fiction excerpts, stray thoughts, wishes: https://www.wetriedourbest.wordpress.com.
Zarina Zabrisky is the author of two short story collections and the novel WE, MONSTERS. She is a three-time Pushcart Prize nominee and a recipient of a 2013 Acker Award. Simon Rogghe is a poet, fiction writer, and translator of French surrealism, currently earning his Ph.D. in French literature at UC Berkeley. Their work has appeared in eight countries and their first book of collaborative poetry, Green Lions, was called “a hugely multifaceted, multigenred piece of art” and a “manual for transformation” by critics in the US and UK.
