Word of Mouth Cincinnati (WoMC), a literary event consisting of both an Open Mic and a Feature Performance, runs the last Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. upstairs at MOTR Pub.
Word of Mouth Cincinnati, which began in January 2014, is co-hosted by fellow writers Jim Palmarini and Mark Flanigan. It was founded in memory of the late Aralee Strange who, after many years living, writing and producing work in the Cincinnati area, moved to Athens, Georgia where she co-founded Athens Word of Mouth.
Our featured reader on December 26, 2017 is Nathan Singer (Cincinnati, OH).
Dr. Nathan Singer is a novelist, playwright, composer, and experimental performing artist. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Theater from Northern Kentucky University, a Master’s in Creative Writing from Antioch University, and a PhD in Interdisciplinary Humanities with a creative writing focus from Union Institute & University. He currently teaches writing at Antioch University, the University of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University and Cincinnati State College.
Nathan has been published in various literary journals, and performs on a semi-regular basis both as a solo artist and with various ensembles, particularly with avant-garde performance collective Performance Gallery. He is also the lead vocalist and guitarist for award-winning “ultra-blues” band The Whiskey Shambles. His published novels are the controversial and critically-acclaimed A Prayer for Dawn, Chasing the Wolf, In the Light of You, The Song in the Squall, Transorbital and Blackchurch Furnace. He currently lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he is working on a multitude of new projects.
WoMC is an intentional arc of both past and future utterance, inspired by our most revered voice, with a nod to her Athens, GA compatriots. Word of Mouth asks poets to Show Up, Mouth Off and Pay Attention.
