Constellations Poetry Reading

Constellations is a new print literary journal based in the Cambridge/Boston area, featuring poetry and short fiction.

Nina Rubinstein Alonso, editor of Constellations, has published in Ploughshares, The New Yorker, Sumac, Avatar, Women-Poems, U. Mass. Review, and New Boston Review, among other places, and her first book This Body was printed by Godine Press.

She taught English literature at Brandeis University and U. Mass.,

Boston, while continuing training in ballet and exploring modern dance.

Saturated with academia, she taught at Boston Ballet for eleven years,

and performed in their Nutcracker, until sidelined by injuries. She

makes her living teaching at Fresh Pond Ballet in Cambridge, MA. She

says, "Now is the time for fresh voices in poetry and fiction. I’m

looking for a new constellation."
