June Featured poet Clarence Bess

Please join us as we close out our season with Brooklyn poet and subway chronicler Clarence Bess.

Clarence began writing as a means of escape, his writing blossomed beautifully into vivid, visceral, and compelling poetry. Clarence refers to his style as "open air" poetry. He cites that we all breath, it comes as natural as anything we must do to survive. As air, his poems are light, yet complex in their makeup. Clarence aims to bridge the gap between poetry for poets, and poetry for the everyman. 

Clarence has authored "Actuality Askew", "N Vers 1 Quarrels with Myself", "N Vers 2 Sincerely Chris", and "N Vers 3 Songs my Father Forgot to Tell Me". Please join us for a night of riveting poetry. Read with us, or just come down and enjoy.

We hope to have a musical interlude and then the open mic.

And don't forget everything is 15% off after the reading

Hope to see you there,

Anthony
