Cantab Feature for Wednesday, July 25, 2018: Anna Binkovitz

Local-for-now Minneapolis poet Anna Binkovitz.

Local-for-now Minneapolis poet Anna Binkovitz.

The punk-ass lovechild of Betty Boop and Morticia Adams, Anna Binkovitz is a Minneapolis poet who is unimpressed by Boston winters. An MFA candidate at Sarah Lawrence, Anna’s work has appeared in Beech Street Review, Muzzle Magazine, the Huffington Post and elsewhere. Anna has been a finalist at CUPSI, Rustbelt and the Great Plains Poetry Pile-Up. Anna was a member of the 2018 Open Mouth Writing Retreat cohort. Critics call Anna a “bold dyke” and Anna wants to make this their LinkedIn tagline. Someone stop them.

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 poetry slam in the 8×8 series will follow. The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $3.
