poetry dude

Saw this gentleman outside the Paragraph Gallery during the Pages show (which was curated by the wonderful and talented Amy Kligman). This is what I love about this town,great art galleries and then some. A guy typing out free poetry on the sidewalk outside AND it was a very cold November night! I took his photo,threw him a buck and grabbed a sheet of poetry that was there. Good stuff. Best "poetry investment" I ever made.
