Next week, on Monday, September 15, Kevin Young and Janice Erlbaum will kick off the twelfth year of the KGB Monday Night Poetry reading series. This season promises to be an exciting one, not only because of the superlative list of readers, but because the series founders, Star Black and David Lehman, will return to co-host many of the evenings while my fellow curator, Laura Cronk, is on maternity leave. Come for the poetry, stay for the revelry! Here is our season calendar:
