What is it about certain people—like, say, Justin Bond or local writer/actor Marya Sea Kaminski—that they can make a room feel stormy and magical just by walking in and starting to talk? Whatever it is, Kaminski's got that mojo. Whether she's howling out Greek fury in a production of Electra or telling small stories about love and lust, just listening to Kaminski's voice will make you a better person. Tonight she reads something new (apparently about attraction), along with essayist Phillip Lopate, poet Emily Warn, and the band Happy Hour Hero.
