We are pleased to have added the fall 2006 lineup for the Zinc Talk/Reading Series to our events calendar.

Mike Lorber, the series' host, writes: "Unlike other reading series around the country, the Zinc Talk/Reading Series will never feature genetically modified poets treated with bovine growth hormone. We never use antibiotics or steroids to make the poets ripen faster & we don't dilute our poets with cheap soy products or breading. Many of the readers, such as those living in large lofts in Bushwick or outside of New York altogether, could be considered free range. When you come to the Zinc-TRS, what you get are the kind of wholesome, robust poets you can feel good about feeding to your children."

The series runs (almost) every single Sunday at 6:59PM. $5 goes to the poets if you have that kind of money. If not, just bring it next time okay? Your host is Brendan Lorber, now with extra flavor packets.

Brendan Lorber is a poet and the editor/publisher of LUNGFULL!Magazine, a magazine that prints the rough draft of people's work along with the final version so you can see the process from start to finish . . . if you subscribe.

The Zinc Bar is a happening jazz dive on the edge of Soho and the West Village that hosts small-name bands and poetry evenings. Dates, reviews, and more information after the jump!

What Others Have to Say

"Zinc-TRS presents perhaps the most forward-thinking writers of our age, granting them the opportunity to present both brilliant poems and gripping talks in a format more inviting & rigorous than we've seen in a long time. A sheer delight!"—according to a cut-up of The New York Times 9/29/03*

"The Zinc Bar is one of the coolest new poetry venues in New York, a great place to pick up poor, talented, and beautiful people"—The Exquisite Corpse
