ELECTION DAY POETRY COVERAGE!

David Kirschenbaum's BOOG CITY PRESENTS

note from David:

The night will feature readings from political poets; musical acts performing solo sets; and, for its 20th anniversary, R.E.M.'s Green performed live. (R.E.M. intentionally released Green on Election Day in 1988.) I'll be selecting the poets and Casey Holford, who you might recognize from all the Boog shows he’s taken part in, will be booking the music, and be among those partaking in the performance of Green.

All of this will be up against the backdrop of election returns on the big screen, and I'll MC election updates throughout the night.

Nov. 4, from 7:30 p.m.-1:00 a.m. at Sidewalk Café (94 Ave. A, @ E. 6th St.) in NYC

POETS READING:
Vivian Demuth, Nathaniel Siegel, Eliot Katz, Phoebe Kreutz, CAConrad, Frank Sherlock
