About:
Boundless Tales Reading Series is one of the only reading series in the borough of Queens. Readings run the third Thursday of every month. Four to six readers will be featured for the evening. The goal of this series is to provide a venue for writers who are passionate about their writing, and who would like to share their work in a public forum.
Hosts: Boundless Tales Reading has two new, fabulous hosts:
Audrey Dimola is a journalist, editor, poet, performer, and curator born in Astoria/Long Island City, Queens where she (proudly!) still lives. She has performed at Bowery Poetry Club, Brooklyn Museum, and the NY Aquarium, and her articles, poetry/prose, and photos have been published in print and online. Audrey is the author of "Decisions We Make While We Dream," an original collection of work spanning 2000 to 2012, and she has been writing about, participating in, and helping to promote Queens culture since her college years. In 2013 she founded “Nature of the Muse,” a Queens literary series playing with themes of inspiration and on-the-spot creation. She loves to explore and lives by these words: stay wild, stay grateful. Find her online at: http://audreydimola.com/
