Come whet your tongues on crisp evening cocktails, and cutting edge poetry.

Located in Greenwich Village, the Cornelia Street Café, opened its doors in July 1977 and has become known for its diverse range of artistic performances. Nightly scheduled events include poetry and fiction readings, musical performances, and visual art receptions.

The Graduate Poetry Series, one of New York's longest-running, is held on the fourth Tuesday of every month. It was established to give students from NYC's graduate writing programs an opportunity to read their poetry in a safe, intimate and supportive environment.

Here's my poem:

ARMBAND

What is worn around the arm
leads me to believe
in a higher purpose
for arms, and a more serene
existence for their hairs.
