Description

A special late winter, early Spring reading with Graham Fawcett from some of the finest poets to have lived and worked in the Big Apple; 

including Walt Whitman, Federico Garcia Lorca, ee cummings, Allen Ginsberg, Dylan Thomas, Edna St Vincent Millay and Marianne Moore.

Graham gave lectures and seminars on these poets in late June 2016 and wandered the streets of New York in early July . Unsuspected veils kept on dropping from the poems they had written there as the place not only gave them a frame but shot through with new light the content of so many of their pages. Poets of New York is his story of that experience.
