The legendary Monday night poetry reading series at the KGB Bar in Greenwich Village, New York, was founded in 1997 by David Lehman and Star Black. The weekly series unites poets and audience from across the country in an intimate venue to hear some of the greatest poets of our time as well as exciting newer authors-all for free. The KGB Bar, a former speakeasy and Ukrainian socialist club, is often cited as one of New York City's hottest literary venues. The series is curated and hosted by poets Laura Cronk, Megin Jimenez, and Michael Quattrone.
