“Poetry Czar” (as anointed by the Village Voice) Bob Holman opened his “Home for Poetry” in a classic 1850 Bowery building. It’s open all day for snacks, coffee, and that writerly essential, hanging out; a good happy hour precedes each evening’s festivities. Poetry and fiction readings and slams, open mics, monologues, words with music, and all manner of other spoken word is presented from...

The Bowery Poetry Club is a unique and unpretentious joint where poetry and art meet entertainment, technology and commerce. It comes as no surprise that the wizard behind the currtain of this enterprise is Bob Holman, the building’s owner and the club’s guiding light. Holman has earned his stripes, making a living as a poet and running readings for 25 years in the East Village. First at the...
