Triptych Readings brings together emerging and established writers for brief and luminous readings in New York City's East Village. All readings are free and open to the public. We will be holding regular monthly readings beginning in Spring 2009 at the 11th Street Bar, 510 East 11th Street, between Avenues A&B. Unless otherwise noted, all readings begin at 7 pm. Triptych Readings is curated by Kaveh Bassiri and Mary Austin Speaker, former curators of Reading Between A&B, who promise to continue to bring you thoughtfully curated evenings of poetry celebrating the diversity of voice, aesthetic, philosophy, nationality, tone, politic, persuasion, race and gender that poetry offers. We hope you'll stop by, grab a pint, and listen up. Reading Between A&B was a great experience and over the years was host to hundreds of extraordinary poets. Please check out the Reading Between A&B archive here. We hope to establish an audio archive of our readings on our site or through iTunes. Check back often to find out more about that. Here's a map to help you get here!
