I am very excited to make an announcement for a big BlazeVOX [books] poetry reading
in NYC. The Word for Word programs takes place under a canopy of London Plane trees
in Bryant Park. Bryant Park is located at Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue) and
42nd Street. The visual landmark at the east end of the park is the New York Public
Library. The poetry readings take place on Tuesdays at 7pm. We will feature five
poets, Michael Kelleher, Amy King, Kristina Marie Darling, Leah Umansky and Geoffrey
Gatza. Each poet will read for 15 to 20 minutes.
In case of heavy rain we will move to their rain venue, the General Society of Mechanics
and Tradesmen, 20 West 44th Street. It's a couple of blocks away from the park but
we move together as a group so no one gets lost. After the reading we move the
group to the Bryant Park Café for refreshments and a post mortem of the reading.
We have an exciting event coming up in a few days. BlazeVOX is having a reading
at the Word for Word series held at Bryant Park. This is the park that is right
behind the New Your Public Library, the one with those two glorious lion sculptures
facing out to 5th Avenue right near 42nd street. The idea of being a poet and a
book publisher blossomed right here in Bryant Park when I was a young chef. I was
working furious hours for very little, or often, no money. I learned a great many
things about life during that time. I also learned many things that have nothing
to do with life, items like frittatas or fish sauces that are not in fashion anymore.
But when I wanted to find peace and quite by loosing myself in literature, I went
to Bryant Park and the library. It was the only place in the whole city where I
felt I could think clearly. Rather than hiding in my book on the train, my closet
that was listed as an apartment, or mingling in overly crowded coffee shops, which
were very much in vogue in those days. When I left NYC to go to back home to Buffalo
eighteen years ago I had every intention of returning. As things work out, Buffalo
treated me all right. So this reading is a nice way to come back and show the land,
the trees and the old guys playing chess the seeds that Bryant Park planted within
me and grew. With that in mind, if you are in NYC please come out and play a game
of chess, listen to fine poetry and have a drink with us :-) If not, no worries,
I will be recording all the performances and broadcasting them in our BXtraordinary
page in the coming weeks. Hurray!
