92nd Street Y
An Introduction To....
|
"One steps into history, as well as into the company of legends (from Neruda to Nabokov), when walking into the 92nd Street Y. I can't think of any institution that more steadily and elegantly speaks for the power of the word, the value of tradition and the fact that, even in the age of Twitter and cell-phones, hundreds can be bound together by a poet onstage, alone, declaiming his words. A night at the Y is like no night anywhere else.”
Written by Pico Iyer from 92yondemand.org.

Let's Get Out There
The purpose of sharing the 92Y Unterberg Poetry Center is with the hopes that those interested in poetry will have another resource.
It is rare to find a place where poets can go and investigate contemporary American Poets in an archive of past recordings. A place where poets can go and examine the history of the art of poetry in America.
Even though poetry in America is vast and moves far beyond the doors of the Y there is a strong taste of the poets that helped define Poetry in America.
