It was an intimate and unforgettable night with the legendary New York poet and three times Emmy winner.

"Bob is my kind of poet" - Lou Reed

In 2002 Bob Holman, the man who introduced poetry slams to New York, opened the Bowery Poetry Club in downtown Manhattan, described by the New York Times as 'a beacon on the Bowery'.  Producer of the PBS television  
series United States of Poetry, Bob has won three Emmys and various other
 
awards for his work in performing and promoting poetry. His book, Picasso in Barcelona, and CD, The Awesome Whatever, are his latest staging posts in his "return to the oral roots of language and of poetry".
