The Poetry Project (NYC) presents “The 47th Annual New Year’s Day Marathon — 24-hour broadcast”
Starting at 11pm ET | More info here & here & excerpted below.
“Raucous, tender, expansive, and always more than a little unpredictable, The New Year’s Day Marathon celebrates the persistent magic of poets and their co-conspirators. This year’s gathering combines poetry readings with hypnosis, DJ sets and music videos, ritual offerings, celebrations of place and history, cooking segments, short films, archival media, and more. And we kick things off in an 11pm to midnight countdown with a broadcast of live performances and a special feature from the clocktower of St. Mark’s.”
