About the event

The Tortured Poets: An Ode to Taylor Swift
Love her work or loathe it, it feels impossible to ignore the impact of Taylor Swift's lyrics and music on our zeitgeist—not even poets are

About this Event

Two teams of award-winning poets, including Jason Bayani, Gillian Conoley, Keith Ekiss, Lourdes Figueroa, MJ Jones, and Mia Ayumi Malhotra take turns batting at topics pitched to them by the audience. Fastballs, curveballs, knuckleballs: these poets won’t know what’s coming next! Hilarity and brilliance both guaranteed. Daniel Handler will be tonight’s emcee, and eminently qualified umpires—Aracelis Girmay and D.A. Powell—will score each batter’s reading. The winning team takes the series title. Don’t forget to bring a topic to stump the poets with! Book sales/signing follow the final inning. Doors at 6:30pm. $15 adv / $20 door
