The Library Bar in New Orleans’ Garden District is a moody space for writers, drinkers, and cocktail lovers alike. Socializing here is made easy with $5 martinis, drag shows, and Gonzofest’s live poetry night on May 17th. For a night of flavor for taste buds, and for your soul, pop by for a specialty drink and words from writers who have come together from across the nation.
Here’s just a few of the poets who will be reading at the Library Bar:
