A welcoming, and well-welcomed reprieve from this chaotic city. I love this neighborhood as well: The esplanade, the parks, the Hudson floating toward the ocean. Here, you get great views of all of that. Just a beautiful, airy space inside. Shelves of poetry from all periods. I just love it. They offer events, classes, and even what looks like a fellowship. They could easily charge a small entrance fee or membership only to access this space, but it's open to anyone who respects the space and possibly writing, and poetry, too.
