Poetry is power

Tonight at 8 at the Bowery Poetry Club (one of my favorite spots in New York), an organization called Poets for Ayiti is giving a reading from their chapbook, From the Crowns of Your Heads. The inspiring Kathy Engel will read, alongside a bevy of other talented poets. Proceeds from event donations and book sales will raise funds for the rebuilding of Bibliotheque du Soliel, the Port-au-Prince library destroyed during the January 12 earthquake in Haiti. Donations of $20 or more get you a free copy of the limited edition chapbook. If you can't make it tonight but still want to help, fill out this form to make a gift and receive a beautiful collection of poetry in return.
