Poetry Book Launch for Ori Fienberg’s Where Babies Come From!

Join us to celebrate the release of Ori Fienberg’s Where Babies Come From! Amber Sparks writes “This is a book of possibilities disguised as a book of poems; it’s a delightful catalogue of parallel worlds and what ifs and world problems as word problems. It’s elegant but wild; a raucous party in the subconscious because, as Fienberg writes, ‘this is a library, [nobody] speaks’. These pieces are things of meaning, things of hidden meaning and overt meaning, things of wordplay and sound and light and great sadness and understanding and they are very, very good.”

Ori Fienberg is the author of the chapbooks Old Habits, New Markets (2020) and Interim Assistant Dean of Having a Rich Inner Life (2023). His writing has appeared in Mid-American Review, Ploughshares, Rattle, Smartish Pace, and many other journals and anthologies. A graduate of Oberlin College and the University of Iowa’s Nonfiction Writing Program, Ori teaches poetry for Northeastern University and lives in Evanston, Illinois. He will be joined in conversation by his wife, Emily Maloney, author of Cost of Living: Essays.
