The penultimate event at the Bryant Park Reading Room on September 3 featured three poets, Jiwon Choi, Joan Larkin, and Alicia Ostriker.
I know and enjoy the work of Joan Larkin and Alicia Ostriker and I partly came to the reading because I wanted to record them. It seemed important. I didn’t know Jiwon Choi well, but as often happens, I enjoyed her reading and am so glad that I filmed her because I can include her here.
The first video below contains the whole reading, which is about an hour long. The three videos with each individual poet, links to their most recent books, and more information about them follow.
The inestimable John Deming introduces each poet. Enjoy.
