Okay, okay — enough teasing this Saturday’s super-special Oh, Bernice! reading. So what if tomorrow is Valentine’s Day? Like we’d let some manufactured holiday influence our reading. No, we’re gonna keep it real, which is why Lorraine Schein will be there to read some of her fantasy/sci-fi pieces. (Plus humorous pieces and pieces about Queens.) So don’t miss it!

Lorraine Schein is a Sunnysider who toils in the Editorial Department at Queens College. Her poems and fiction have appeared recently in New Letters, Hotel Amerika, Vallum, Sagewoman and Gargoyle, plus the anthologies Phantom Drift, The Unbearables and Alice Redux (a story collection about Alice in Wonderland). The Futurist’s Mistress, her poetry book, is available here. She is currently working on a graphic novel.
