"The Poetry Center at the 92nd Street Y is by tradition the stellar venue for literary readings in America—it's a delight to be asked to read there and a delight to be a member of its very special audience."— (Joyce Carol Oates)
The Unterberg Poetry Center presents this country's most comprehensive annual series of readings by writers in every literary genre (poetry, fiction, nonfiction and drama), as well as special programs featuring the spoken word. The center also offers a wide range of courses, from literary seminars and lectures to writing workshops and tutorials, designed to provide writers the opportunity to receive detailed criticism from an experienced teacher who is also a practicing author.
Writing Program Open House: Wed, Jan 6, 7-8pm
