Some say a picture is worth 1,000 words.

This winter, the Nuyorican Poets Café brings its iconic poetry events to ICP for a series of open-mics with a photographic twist! This installment of “1,000 Words” will take place in ICP's cafe.

Registration in advance is strongly recommended.

About the Nuyorican Poets Café Over the past 50 years, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe has served as a global home for groundbreaking works of poetry, music, theater and visual arts. A multicultural and multi-disciplinary institution, the Nuyorican gives voice to historically marginalized poets, actors, filmmakers and musicians, having launched the careers of countless legends. The Nuyorican champions the use of art & poetry as means of empowerment and social change. Our community of spectators, artists and students is a reflection of New York City’s diverse populace, with Allen Ginsberg calling the Cafe “the most integrated place on the planet.”
