So , what is the best place in Manhattan to read your poetry
Edited on Thu May-13-10 01:21 PM by UndertheOcean
A place with an audience that knows their stuff . And it should allow unestablished people to read , any Manhattan's (?? right word ? don't know) got any ideas .

Knowing the lounge I don't think I will get an answer if I don't include a cute kitty pic. So each reply is going to get one. How is that for incentive.

1. My dear UndertheOcean!
I wish I could tell you, but alas, I cannot.

I have never read there...

Now, if you were out here, I could help...

I suspect what I would do if I were searching as you are: I would look for local poetry venues, and then visit them, check them out. And go from there...

Good luck!

Reading is fun!

:hi:

Wait, does that sound right?

Anyways, here's a platypus picture to counter your kitty picture:
