Has bar loving Vamps become park loving Hippies?

Monday nights at KGB Bar have become infamous for poetry, but it looks like all the summer light has gotten them a little misty-eyed & restless to leave behind the aching read interiors and sticky sweet beer smells for something a little more green










Monday becomes Tuesday and KGB at Bryant Park
with James Tate, Dara Wier and Jennifer L. Knox
Tuesday, July 8
6:30pm - 8:00pm
Bryant Park Reading Room
(42nd Street side of park)




Join the KGB Poetry Series for a summertime appearance at Bryant Park!
