Estrellas en el Fuego: The Alternative New Year's Day Spoken Word/Performance Extravaganza

This 20th annual happening, an alternative to the annual Poetry Project marathon, has become a tradition itself. One hundred fifty poets and performers—including Miguel Algarin, Jennifer Blowdryer and Hattie Gossett—read their verses. There will also be an open-mike component for those revelers who sign up early enough.
