Bøker utgitt av Live Mag!

Live Mag! is an anthology of contemporary poetry and art. It was born at the Bowery Poetry Club when Bob Holman asked Jeff Wright to produce a show. Wright conceived the show as a performance / publication event where publishers, writers, and audience could swap and share. Since then, events hve been held in legendary East Village locations like Bar On A, Sidewalk Cafe, and Mo Pitkins. Continuing a fifteen-year tradition, we carry on a unique partnership with La Mama, E.T.C. We're fortunate to also be part of the Howl! Happening family. Both venues regularly hosts our art, performance, and poetry events there. LiVE MAG! has evolved from its original conception as an onstage event.
