Fall Schedule Unveiled for KGB Bar Poetry!
by Ernie on 01/09/10 at 10:30 am
Our scintillating line-up includes Pulitzer Prize winners and 2010 National Book Award judges, stars from Cave Canem’s galaxy of African-American poets, a Wilde night with queer bards, and lots of young trailblazers from hot little presses like Ugly Duckling and No Tell Books. With appearances by series founders Star Black and David Lehman, including a tribute to the Lion James Tate. The series kicks off September 13 with a trip across the pond. “Untameable and anarchic” Irish poet Rita Ann Higgins will be joined by “streetwise and regretful” Scotsman Roddy Lumsden and our ever-enterprising New York ambassador, Philip Fried. Have a look at the full list below. Encounters with words and a dry martini await . . .
