What would Grandma Moses's poetry have been like? Or a Minnie Evans short story? Join us for a night in recognition of "outsider authors" whose writings appear in the NYWC second anthology.
The
NYWC introduces a varied body of voices to literary discourse
by providing free writing courses around the city for authors in seldom-published demographics (senior citizens, the formerly incarcerated, and the homeless, to name a few).
They
tell us that fifteen of their workshop participants (six of whom are
under 18) are coming to read from the collection. Wow! Join us for an evening of Only In New York stories delivered in non-traditional literary style.
