Jessica Greenbaum,  a poet I admire a great deal, is presenting an evening of incredible poets from issues 4 and 5 of Upstreet Magazine. at the expanded BookCourt in Cobble Hill. What a group of poets! This is an event poetry lovers (and those new to poetry) will not want to miss.

Greenbaum, who unfortunately won't be reading, is the poetry editor at Upstreet and author of a collection called Inventing Difficulty, which includes a lovely poem called Brooklyn Aubade. Recently she had a great poem in the New Yorker called The Two Yvonnes.
