The Bowery Poetry Club was a New York City poetry performance space founded by Bob Holman in 2002 〔Aptowicz, Cristin O'Keefe. (2008). ''Words in Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam.'' Chapter 26: What the Heck is Going on Here; The Bowery Poetry Club Opens (Kinda) for Business. Soft Skull Press, 288. ISBN 1-933368-82-9.〕 Located at 308 Bowery, between Bleecker and Houston Streets in Manhattan's East Village, the BPC was a popular meeting place for artists and aspiring artists. ==Building history== The building was built in the 1850s as a lumber yard. Its last incarnation before becoming the BPC was as a formica tabletop manufacturer that ran on DC current. Plywood scraps were used to heat the building in a pot-belly stove. In a 2002 ''New York Times'' article about the club, Holman talked about the then-risky choice to open the club on Bowery, which at the time was a "skid row": The Bowery Poetry Club closed for renovations on July 17, 2012〔Solomon, Serena. ("Bowery Poetry Club to Close as Questions Linger About Conversion Plan" ) ''DNAinfo'' (July 17, 2012)〕 and re-opened in March 2013 as a joint performance venue with Duane Park, which relocated from TriBeCa. In the process, BPC dropped "Club" from its name, becoming "Bowery Poetry". The venue was to present Duane Park's burlesque performance through Saturday, with poetry presented on Saturday afternoons and on Sunday and Monday.〔Sherer, Jenna. ("Meet the new Duane Park and Bowery Poetry" ) ''Time Out New York'' (March 12, 2013)〕〔Solomon, Serena. ("Revamped Bowery Poetry to Open in March With New Name, New Look" ) ''DNAinfo'' (January 30,20130〕 As of 2014, the poetry program at Bowery Poetry is presented by Bowery Arts + Science, an organization also founded by Bob Holman, the founder of Bowery Poetry Project.〔(Bowey Arts + Science website )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bowery Poetry Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
