Winter Poetry Returns to Kinokuniya
Bryant Park Reading Room’s Poetry series has moved inside to the warm confines of Kinokuniya Bookstore for monthly sessions featuring top poets. All lovers of verse are invited to meet other aficionados, share comments, and engage the presenters in discussion about their work.
The first session was on January 16. Presented in partnership with Plume, the lineup included Dennis Nurske, Rachel Hadas, Jessica Greenbaum, and Tom Sleigh.
Winter Poetry continues on the third Tuesday of each month from February through April, bringing us right into the warm-weather season. Here’s the rest of the Winter Poetry schedule:
- Tuesday, February 20, presented in partnership with Brooklyn Poets: Jason Koo, Joe Pan, JP Howard, and Vanessa Jimenez Gabb
- Tuesday, March 20, presented in partnership with Wesleyan University Press: Shane McCrae, Sarah Blake, Kazim Ali, and others
- Tuesday, April 17, presented in partnership with Yes Yes Books: Mahogany Browne, Caylin Capra- Thomas, Jamie Mortara, and Aziza Barnes
Please note: programs are subject to change. Winter Poetry meets 6pm–8pm at Kinokuniya Bookstore, just across the street from Bryant Park at 1073 Avenue of the Americas. We thank Kinokuniya for providing a fantastic venue and HSBC for its longtime sponsorship of the Bryant Park Reading Room.
