Relax here: Poetry at KGB Bar

Posted in Own This City by Alex Schechter on November 9th, 2009 at 2:27 pm

Ascend for poetry.

The propaganda-covered KGB Bar (85 E 4th St between Bowery and Second Aves; 212-505-3360, kgbbar.com) has hosted literally thousands of poets since opening its Monday-night literary series in 1994. Tonight from 7 to 9pm, the free poetry event features an appearance by cofounder Star Black (catch her in this video reading from her 1999 collection Balefire), as well as Poets House staffer Stephen Motika and widely published NYC poet Howard Altmann. The event is not an open mike, but if this warm weather has put you in the mood to spout a verse or two, you can always check out these places.
