Brave, Unbodied Scheme—a McNally Jackson poetry reading series featuring Brian Teare, Mónica de la Torre, Shin Yu Pai, and Wayne Koestenbaum

Join us at the McNally Jackson Seaport bar, manhattan’s own coastal refuge, as we present an evening featuring a range of brilliant minds from NYC’s poetry scene.

The title for this new monthly series comes from Herman Melville’s poem “Art”. Poetry, wine, and the sea have always been inextricably intertwined. This reading series seeks to highlight poets from all over the city, and give them a backdrop of McNally Jackson’s bar to read their new work. Join us to hear poems, drink wine, and enjoy the “pulsed life”.

This month’s reading is loosely based around ekphrasis and features Brian Teare, Mónica de la Torre, Shin Yu Pai, and Wayne Koestenbaum.
