Our 23rd Event And Our 4th Anthology... Amazing! Every year I reconsider the broad strokes and possibilities, and the staff gathers in early winter to talk about new directions and bridges to cross.

Our 23rd Event And Our 4th Anthology... Amazing! Every year I reconsider the broad strokes and possibilities, and the staff gathers in early winter to talk about new directions and bridges to cross. A major part of our planning is to reach out to new guest curators for assistance in keeping the channels open to new voices and sounds. We also hope to bring in artists we've missed, neglected, or not had back in a while. This year I am especially thrilled by the multitude of new performers that have been added to event. When the Alternative New Year's Day Spoken Word / Performance Extravaganza began I fantasized about creating an anthology on the spot, with the help of an industrial strength photocopy machine nearby. Now in the age of the internet, and the publishing possibilities the internet has conjured up, plus the masterful hand and eye of C. D. Johnson, we have our fourth annual collection of a selection of works by participants in Forever Night: Siempre Noche. The theme Forever Night: Siempre Noche was chosen in the course of this past overheated summer of Trump and Clinton, and after the theme was selected by the vote of the staff, some staff members wondered if it was perhaps too dark in its insinuations. Now, following the autumn election, we must and we shall persist even harder in our artistry, clinging to art's ever present truth to get us through the forthcoming night ahead.
Autorenporträt
One of New York City's biggest literary events, featuring more than 170 scheduled performers, returned to the historic Nuyorican Poets Café on New Year's Day. The 23rd annual Alternative New Year's Day Spoken Word / Performance Extravaganza took place for ten hours on January 1st, 2017, from 2 p.m. to midnight. The event continues to be free to the public. The Alternative began on New Year's Day in 1995, and quickly evolved into one of the most popular events on the city's poetry and literary scene. Founder Bruce Weber is ably assisted by a staff of writers, designers and curators. Each year a fresh group of performers are plucked from all corners of the Tri-State area to enliven and transform the Alternative in unexpected ways. Adding to the mix for the fourth consecutive year is this anthology composed of featured writers, published by Rogue Scholars Press under the guidance of C. D. Johnson.
