Hi Sari, I loved watching this, thank you so much for posting! I am a native NYer, born in the late '60s at LeRoy Hospital (gone now, but was at 40 E 61st St.). From birth to age 12 I lived in a Mitchell-Lama building on 96th St between Amsterdam and Columbus. When I turned 12 we moved in with my step-dad in the Village, Waverly Place between 6th and MacDougal St. and then to the East Village on Stuyvesant Street. So much has changed in the 56 years I've been here, but strangely I never wanted to leave. The readings were amazing, thank you again for sharing this video!

So glad you enjoyed this, Amy. That's a true New Yorker's history. And I am envious that you get to still be there!
I heard Maggie read several times at the Nuyorican in NYC (don't know if it's even there anymore!). Wonderful poet, wonderful scene.
It's still there! Yes, she was wonderful.
Cool! Look forward to watching it.
