Every Monday night, the KGB Bar's poetry readings are packed to overflowing. Pulitzer Prize winners bum cigarettes from grad students and martini glasses are refilled between readings, while the best poets in the country share their latest work with a rapt audience.
The KGB Bar is the sexiest and arguably the best venue for poetry in New York City, and now this book brings this hot literary series to the page. Icons like John Ashbery and Charles Wright appear here with other favourites such as Molly Peacock and Katha Pollitt. Many of the poets have also written anecdotes about their own most memorable poetry readings.
With dynamic black-and-white photographs throughout, 'The KGB Bar Book Of Poems' reflects the dazzling variety and tremendous energy of poetry today.
