We are thrilled to invite you to this very special reading of poetry in the Unnameable Bookstore in Brooklyn with our two past contributing poets Yuko Otomo and Iva Ticic. Join us for an unforgettable evening in the most bookish atmosphere when English-as-a-second-language poetry gets its very own stage amid the buzzing city noise.
Moderation: Lisa Schantl.
No cover, voluntary donation is highly appreciated.
