On June 21 at 8 p.m. Brooklyn Reading Work’s special mixologist will be mixing a brand new drink named, The Waking Dream, in honor of the poetry reading by Michael Ruby and Nancy Graham, writers who sometimes use sleep and dreams as source material for their poetry.

The Waking Dream

1 ounce vodka
1 ounce Triple sec
1 ounce Rose’s Lime Juice
1 ounce black currant juiice

Ruby and Graham are reading poems, prose, and a collaborative work based on a text by Samuel Beckett.

It should be a great show: The Old Stone House. Fifth Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets. 8 p.m.
Five bucks gets you in, light refreshments, and a free Waking Dream.
