The KGB Monday Night Poetry Reading Series, now in its 27th year, brings together nationally recognized, award winning, established and emerging poets to New York and gives them a mic in the legendary KGB Bar. We aim to provide New York audiences with the best, most compelling, accomplished, diverse, and original poets representative of the current American climate. Originally created by David Lehman and Star Black, the series is now hosted by John Deming, Jada Gordon, Tyler Allen Penny, and Susan Lewis.
On March 4th, debut poets Susan Nguyen, whose book "Dear Diaspora" won the 2020 Raz/Schumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize, and Joshua Nguyen, whose book "Come Clean" won the 2021 Felix Pollack Prize, will be in conversation and read from their books and new poems.
Doors open at 7 pm, and the reading will begin at 7:30 pm. 21+ event.
