POETS HOUSE REOPENS SATURDAY
Poets House in Battery Park City at the end of Murray, which I thought had closed permanently in December 2020, is reopening on Saturday, Jan. 27, with a celebration from 3 to 6p. The facility celebrates poets and poetry, but is also a great, quiet respite that was open to the public. The pandemic shut it down, but they also had a flood that caused significant damage to the space. (Fortunately, the collection of poems was saved.) Regular hours will be 11a to 7p, Tuesdays thru Saturdays. I will get over there soon to check out the new space.
