Fourth Tuesday of the month is Feature Night
Next up in the Writers Room, Seth Rogovoy
Seth Rogovoy is the author of Bob Dylan: Prophet Mystic Poet, a full-length analysis of Bob Dylan’s life and work, and The Essential Klezmer: A Music Lover’s Guide to Jewish Roots and Soul Music, the all-time bestselling guide to klezmer music. Seth is editor and publisher of The Rogovoy Report – an online magazine of cultural and critical news and observations — and BerkshireDaily – an e-newsletter aggregating news, features, and commentary from around the corner and around the globe. His weekly cultural commentary is heard on WAMC Northeast Public Radio Network.
For his yBar appearance, Seth will read from a work-in-progress about his family, mostly focusing on the life and times of his recently deceased grandmother, most of whose relatives were murdered in the Holocaust. He may also read a few poems he wrote for the recent April 30/30 Poetry Challenge, and something about the role that height – or lack of such – plays in the E Street Band.
“Leigh Strimbeck was born, and despite concerted efforts to the contrary, has achieved a startling number of decades on this planet. She enjoyed her youth far too much, and regrets that she remembers so little. She has participated in a breeding experiment which has resulted in two XY spawn. They appear to be individuating and seeking nourishment without direction. She is remunerated for educating young humans in the art of acting. She longs on most days to be elsewhere.”
