Lynn Hoffmn is a master of moments, stacking them together like photographs to make a coherent statement about the need for sex and love to cohere. He writes, “Sometimes the lack is half the joy.” He’s a lyrical poet, creating music through the repetition of lines. The language has a rock and roll bounce; I see him as a modern Yeats, taking on the discordance of love and sex, transforming them into poetry that remains breath-taking and heart-wrenching. —Hal Sirowitz, Author of Mother Said, Former Poet Laureate of Queens, Winner of the Nebraska Book Award.

An open mic will follow the featured readers. The event is free and 21+.
