Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Poetry Society of America present Poems & Pints, six evenings with premier American poets at the historic Fraunces Tavern in downtown New York City. Each evening, two poets read their own work and favorite poems by others. The selection of highly distinguished participating poets include current and past U. S. Poet Laureates as well as winners of the Pulitzer, Bollingen, and T. S. Eliot Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award, and recipients of Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Arts, and McArthur “genius” grants. The poetry readings will take place in the venerable surroundings of the Nichols Room at Fraunces Tavern, a well-known meeting place since 1762 as well as the site of Washington’s farewell address and the first State and War Departments.
Admission to all readings is free.
