Bowery Poetry with Harris Shiff, Brendan Lorber, and Vincent Katz

Last Tuesday, on January the 27th, Harris Shiff, Brendan Lorber, and Vincent Katz read at Bowery Poetry. It was an excellent continuation of the “New York Poets” reading series organized and hosted by Ed Friedman and Bob Rosenthal that will continue until March the 3rd.

It’s not uncommon to see Vincent Katz or Brendan Lorber at a downtown gathering in any season, but Harris Schiff is a rara avis whose sightings are not as frequent so I was especially excited to capture him for this important archive. You will find all three reading in the Vimeo below. Enjoy.
