Today at 3PM there’s a literary reading at Sunny’s Bar, a beautiful old waterfront bar in Red Hook.

Today’s reading (which will be over before the Super Bowl even begins) will include a new batch of poetry from a Sunny’s alum, a nonfiction exploration of why it’s so difficult to talk about pain, and a funny and poignant true dating tale.

–Priscilla Becker

The series, organized by novelist Gabriel Cohen and  BookCourt will continue on the first Sunday of every month  at 3:00 p.m at Sunny’s, a legendary old bar on the Brooklyn waterfront in Red Hook at 253 Conover Street (between Beard & Reed Streets).
