This event is in the past.It took place on May 8, 2026 at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery.
Skip the polished and predictable. Pratt's MFA grads are reading raw thesis work spanning poetry, prose, and wild hybrid forms at The Poetry Project, a legendary East Village arts space inside a 200-year-old church. It's one night only, and gloriously unscripted.
