Bill Kushner is the ultimate flaneur of Manhattan night-life, as both participant and observer. His fierce, ebullient, eye-opening work is always on target, whether clearheaded or confused, and all the scary ambivalence of self-acceptance rings true on every page. Please join us for the release of Wake Me When It’s Over: Selected Poems by this beloved poet and friend of many, edited by Peter Bushyeager. Organized by Lewis Warsh, the reading will feature Anselm Berrigan, Edmund Berrigan, Peter Bushyeager, Charlotte Carter, Lydia Cortes, Kenny “Angel” Davis, Maggie Dubris, Edward Foster, Guy Gauthier, Barbara Henning, Patricia Spears Jones, Betty LaRoe, Robin Messing, Dennis Moritz, Elinor Nauen, KB Nemcosky, Tom Savage, Noam Scheindlin, Stephen Spicehandler, Lewis Warsh, Phyllis Wat, and Don Yorty.
