Chin Music: The Pacific Standard Reading Series

An Evening with Poets Joshua Mehigan, George Green, and Katy Resch
Thursday, November 15th, 8PM

Please join us for opening night of Chin Music, Brooklyn's new reading
series at Pacific Standard bar in Park Slope. Established and rising
poets and writers from New York and beyond will be featured during each
of our seasons--one each winter and another in late spring. Writers
featured this first season (running November to December, and then--
after a brief hiatus--January to February) include Kimiko Hahn, Roger
Sedarat, Lynn Aarti Chandhok, and John Brehm. Readings will be held on
Thursdays at 8pm, and feature three readers each night. The series is
curated by Colin Cheney and the co-owner of Pacific Standard, John
Rauschenberg.

Located on Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn, near the Atlantic/Pacific
station, Pacific Standard is a literary bar serving up over a dozen West Coast
microbrews on tap (as well as choice selections from small and local
breweries), a fine collection of wines, and tasty cheeses and meats.
