Update on Bob Hart’s memorial from David Lawton
BOB HART (1931 – 2014)
On Sunday, September 28, 2014, we will celebrate the work of this consummate artist and human being.
We will do the thing Bob loved to do – read his poetry, at ABC No Rio, 156 Rivington Street (bet. Clinton & Suffolk), a place where Bob workshopped his work and dialogued with his colleague poets. We will come together there at 12 noon. The reading will begin with invited poets, and time permitting, we will open the
reading up to those who would also like to read. Bob’s publisher, Jee Leong Koh, will have copies of Bob’s collection, Lightly in the Good of Day, available for sale, with the proceeds donated to ABC No Rio.
F Train to Delancey, J, M or Z to Essex.
Hosted by David Lawton and Thomas Fucaloro.
Peace.
