The event is at St. John's Lutheran Church, 81 Christopher Street
(between Seventh Avenue South and Bleecker Street) in Greenwich Village.

Poetry Extravaganza Click Here!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

There was a lovely memorial for Bill Pyles, Friend and Poet who passed away in late 2016, organized by
Ms. Edi Holley at St. Johns Church on March 19, from 12:30 to 3pm with Special Guests - Bill Duke and The Angel Band + open mike. 
The book, BILL PYLES, HIS LIFE, HIS POETRY, COMPILED BY EDI HOLLEY is available on Amazon.

________________________________________________________________________________
John Lehmann-Haupt new CD is here - Songs of the Guitar II.
Some of you may remember his beautiful guitar feature at Saturn Series Poetry.
As on the first Songs of the Guitar, He offers a program that covers a lot of territory, with transitions that work in unexpected ways - from a traditional ballad to Bach, from the distant chime of Debussy's "Et la Lune Descend" to the warm murmur of Tim Hardin's "Misty Roses," from Stevie Wonder's subtle, slinking "Creepin'" to the sweet blues of Jimmy Reed's "Honest I Do."
Check out http://www.johnlehmannhaupt.com -
it's available for download, too, and you can find it at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Songs-Guitar-II-John-Lehmann-Haupt/dp/B01NBWSCYX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487512356&sr=8-1&keywords=john+lehmann-haupt

and iTunes and CDBaby as well.

There is a lovely memorial essay about Ray Pospisil, extraordinary metrical poet who passed away January 28, 2008. Seems like only yesterday he was sitting at the corner of the bar at the Saturn Series Poetry Reading at Nightingale Lounge on 13th Street and 2nd Ave.
He is dearly missed.
