White Columns is celebrating the tenth issue of the Ecstatic Peace Poetry Journal, produced and edited by Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore, with an expanded exhibition dedicated to the art and writings in the publication and other poetry collected by Moore, along with readings and live performances. Pages from the journal’s history adorn the walls, featuring work by an eclectic group that includes Dennis Cooper, Gus van Sant, Kim Gordon, Rick Moody, Kathleen Hanna, Gerard Malanga, and Chan Marshall. Moore himself will be playing live during the January 23 reading by John Giorno and Byron Coley, the February 5 reading by Edmund Berrigan and Anselm Berrigan, and the February 19 reading by Richard Hell and Dorothea Lasky, and he will be reading with Anne Waldman on February 25, with live music by Ambrose Bye and Devin Waldman.
