The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Poetry Society of America hosts Poems & Pints at the historic Fraunces Tavern. The ongoing event invites two poets to read from their own works and a few favorites from other authors. This week, hear Peter Cole, a Macarthur fellow, and Robert Polito, winner of a National Book Critics Circle award for his biography of Jim Thompson, will be kicking off the proceedings at 6:30pm. (The poetry is free, but you'll have to pay for the pints.)
