Dante & the Restoration (of St. John the Divine)

by David Yezzi

Posted: Apr 07, 2009 05:31 PM

 

I'll be reading from canto 4 in the16th annual performance of Dante’s Inferno at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Thursday, April 9th at 9 PM. Here's the event listing from the Cathedral: Join hundreds of poetry lovers inside the recently rededicated and fully reopened Cathedral of St. John the Divine, located at 1047 Amsterdam Avenue (at 112th Street), Manhattan, to celebrate the 16th annual reading of Dante’s Inferno. Admission is free, and it will be a great chance to see the newly restored Cathedral.

 

Among the poets reading will be Cynthia Zarin, Rachel Wetzsteon, Rika Lesser, Joshua Mehigan, George Green, Charles Martin (the Cathedral's poet-in-residence), Rosanna Warren, and Jean Hollander. Hope you can make it!
