Cantab Feature for Wednesday, December 4: Nora Meiners

Nora Meiners, 2013 Boston Poetry Slam Team member.

Nora Meiners, 2013 Boston Poetry Slam Team member.

In 1997, Nora Meiners graduated from Emerson College with a BFA in Creative Writing but as Nora puts it; writing promptly quit her. In 2011, they mended ways when Nora was introduced to performance poetry and in 2013 she competed at the National Poetry Slam as a member of the Boston Poetry Slam Team.

She lives in Cambridge, Mass., where she is raising a 5 year old son as a single mom and spends her days working as the “missing pieces person for a jigsaw puzzle company.” Yes, that is the real job title.

This show in our weekly Wednesday series takes place at the Cantab Lounge, 738 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge. Doors for the show open at 7:15. The open mic begins at 8:00 and the feature performs at approximately 10:00. An open slam in the 8×8 series will follow. The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $3.
