Luna Luna at the New York City Poetry Festival – Saturday, July 30 @ Noon

BY LISA MARIE BASILE

This weekend, you beauties – it's just a few short days away. Are you ready to drink wine in the sun and write poems under trees with hundreds of sweaty bodies? Yes, we are too. 

Come out and meet Luna Luna this Saturday, July 30, at Noon on Governor's Island. Our readers are splendid and we hand-picked each and every one of them for their power, humor, mystery and musicality. 

  • Stephanie Valente
  • Yesenia Montilla
  • Deirdre Coyle
  • Alyssa Morhardt-Goldstein

We're also doing something special this year – anyone who comes to meet & greet us will have their photo taken and used on our social channels to promote *your* projects and *your* books. Why? Because you have loved us for four years (our anniversary falls on July 30) and we want to shout you out. We'll be there Saturday at noon, and throughout the whole festival. 

Here are our magic readers:
