LISTEN NOW to BOWWOW 13 (February) on ARTonAIR.org, the Clocktower Gallery’s radio station.
“Poets Tovah DiPrinzio, Noah Levin, Sarah Matthes, Bob Holman, and Katrina Cunningham performed their poetry at the Bowery Poetry Club on February 2nd, 2012. For the musical act of the night, Susanne Layton sang 40s French Jazz.
To quote the wisdom of Bob Holman, “I’m a writer–I can do no wrong.” With this as the official epitaph of BOWWOW February, the reading had a little bit of everything to offer. The profound poets pontificated on subject matter ranging from the disillusionment of young adulthood to a revelatory lysergic acid experience.”
You can catch BOWWOW live at the Bowery Poetry Club, first Thursdays of every month at 10 pm.
