Reading/Book Release/Book Signing
Of Whiskey and Winter marks the first full-length prose poetry collection by one of the form's most promising poets.
In Broken Hallelujahs, Dougherty uses a variety of experimental and traditional forms including canzone, prose poem, metered and elliptical poems. These aesthetic devices structure his themes of personal and historical fissure and the reconnection of such fissures.
An Evening of New York Stories & Lore
Co-Hosted by Elaine Edelman

8:00 PM
Reading/Discussion/Book Signing
New York Waters: Profiles from the Edge is the first book to examine and record, in text and photographs, the lives of the men and women who live, work, or play in and along the rivers and coastal waterfronts that surround New York City.
Forgotten New York is your passport to more than 300 years of history, architecture, and memories hidden in plain sight.
"In some sixty or seventy vignettes, few of which exceed two pages, and many that finish with room to spare at the bottom of one, [What We Deserved: Stories From a New York Life] covers a wide swath of human experience ranging from his first cigarette and his first removal of a girl's brassiere to the hollow experience of a Yom Kippur service in Washington Heights, and the agony and the very infrequent ecstasy of trying to find a partner in life."—Bookslut
