An afternoon of poetry with the former Poet Laureate of Queens, Hal Sirowitz, on Sunday, September 20 at 3pm.
The poet Hal Sirowitz has been living with Parkinson’s disease for over twenty years, but he continues to be vibrant and creative. He was one of the most popular poets in the United States in the 1990s and a regular on MTV and one of the original performers at the Nuyorican Poets’ Cafe. Hal and his partner -- the writer Minter Krotzer -- have become advocates for people and families struggling with Parkinson’s disease.
This virtual event will also feature Bob Holman, Susan Brennan, Dennis Nurkse, Maria Gillan, and Philip Fried.
