Last week, I highlighted Poetry Slam Inc., in an attempt to share some slam poetry. This week that continues as I spotlight the Bowery Poetry Club.
As always, I appreciate the poetry spotlight ideas people send my way. Keep them coming at robert.brewer@fwmedia.com with the subject line: Poetry Spotlight Idea.

Order the Poet’s Market!
The 2017 Poet’s Market, edited by Robert Lee Brewer, includes hundreds of poetry markets, including listings for poetry publications, publishers, contests, and more! With names, contact information, and submission tips, poets can find the right markets for their poetry and achieve more publication success than ever before.
In addition to the listings, there are articles on the craft, business, and promotion of poetry–so that poets can learn the ins and outs of writing poetry and seeking publication. Plus, it includes a one-year subscription to the poetry-related information on WritersMarket.com. All in all, it’s the best resource for poets looking to secure publication.

Bowery Poetry Club: Poetry Spotlight
Bowery Poetry Club
Of course, there are many venues for people to read poetry in New York City, but Bowery Poetry Club was actually founded by Bob Holman, who’s been dubbed “Poetry Czar” and “Dean of the Scene.” In fact, Holman has played a pivotal role in helping to promote poetry, especially spoken word and slam poetry, around the country and world.
The Bowery Poetry Club is currently in season and has shows every Sunday and Monday. Check out their full list of events on their Facebook page here.
Personally, I’ve visited before, and it’s an intimate venue–the kind that’s perfect for poetry. You can find it at 308 Bowery (between Houston and Bleecker) in Manhattan.
In addition to performances and readings, Bowery Poetry offers poetry workshops from time to time.
