September 26 Leslie Flint Presents John Godfrey

Leslie Flint invites you to join us at Berl's Poetry Shop for a reading with downtown legend John Godfrey, who will present two sets of poetry spanning the course of his 40+ year career.

Thursday, September 26, 7 pm

John Godfrey is the author of a dozen poetry collections, most recently Private Lemonade (Adventures in Poetry, 2003), City of Corners (Wave Books, 2008), and Tiny Gold Dress (Lunar Chandelier, 2013). After a 17 year nursing career specializing in pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS, he retired in 2011. He has lived for 40 years in what once was known as "the poets’ building" on 12th St. in the East Village. This fall Godfrey will lead a workshop called Shifting Degrees at the Poetry Project at St. Mark's. 

This is the inaugural reading for Leslie Flint Presents, a monthly reading series organized by Joseph Bradshaw, co-manager of the afterlife of Leslie Flint.
