- Summary
- "Started in 1997 by poets David Lehman and Star Black the KGB Bar poetry series is widely recognized as the hottest and perhaps the best reading series in New York. Located in the hip East Village KGB Bar, these Monday-night readings boast a fantastic variety and quality of internationally known poets from Charles Simic, Molly Peacock, and Katha Pollit to Marie Howe, Mark Strand, and Yusef Komunyakaa.".
- "Now Lehman and Black have gathered work from the first three seasons into an anthology. Together with a generous supply of photographs and anecdotes from the contributors on the most memorable thing ever to happen to them at a poetry reading, this unique book of poems reflects the amazing variety and energy of poetry today."--BOOK JACKET.
