In our office, we recently discovered a few boxes of books, among which
were a couple of first editions of Frank O'Hara's _Second Avenue_
published by Corinth Books with a cover by Larry Rivers. Lots of other
goodies too! For a full list of titles and prices, go to
http://www.poetryproject.com/booksale.html. If you find something you
want, e-mail us or call us at (212) 674-0910 and we'll work it out!
>From April 26-29, The Poetry Project has four readings in a row, and we
need help! We're talking volunteers! We especially need help for the
April 26 reading, which is AMIRI BARAKA & CECIL TAYLOR, with a reception
afterward. Perks: free admission, our gratitude, that special glow from
helping others.
