The free, outdoor event will feature readings from some of the most prominent voices in poetry including Jane Hirshfield, Major Jackson, Ed Sanders, and Brenda Shaughnessy. Top musical artists Don Byron, Vijay Iyer and Joy Askew will perform the music of groundbreaking vocalist and composer Meredith Monk. Prior to the performances, Poets House will sponsor poetic walking tours of Battery Park City. The 20-minute tour will begin at 6:00pm at the Poets House booth... Poets House is a 50,000-volume poetry library and literary center that will be moving to Ten River Terrace in Battery Park City later this year."
