If the massive marathon event at the Poetry Project is a little too much for you to take all at once, the Cornelia Street Cafe is holding its second annual New Year’s Day tribute to the rather iconoclastic, eclectic, and iconic Charles Bukowski. Hosted by Kat Georges, the evening includes poetry readings and performances by Peter Carlaftes, Bob Quattrone, Angelo Verga, George Wallace, and Ryan Buynak, videos of Bukowski, prizes, book giveaways, and, appropriately, one free drink with admission. And if you want to read your own favorite poem by Bukowski or your own poem inspired by the writer, you can sign up to participate as well.
