Vincent Katz Reads From His New Collection of Poems Broadway For Paul

Broadway, the famous artery, both off the grid and definitive of Manhattan as it cuts its way downtown, is a metaphor for Katz’s path through the poems in his latest collection Broadway For Paul.


Often matter-of-fact in tone, stripped of rococo embellishment or flowery pretense, these poem-objects by poet, art writer, and translator Vincent Katz stand as testimony to keen observance and thoughtful assessment. The voice is conversational, as if the poet and reader were seated at an outdoor café sharing a pot of good coffee, sheltered for the moment from the rush of activity and liberated from destination.



Vincent will be joined by fellow poets Norma Cole and Aaron Shurin. Poet, painter and translator Cole has produced numerous books of poetry including: Fate News (2018), Spinoza in Her Youth (2002), and Natural Light (2009). Shurin has written many poetry collections including: The Blue Absolute (2020), Citizen (2011), and his Unbound will be published in a new edition by Nightboat this winter and will be available at this reading!
