15th Annual Poetry Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge:
A Benefit for Poets House
On June 14, 2010, Brooklyn Poet Laureate Tina Chang, poets Galway Kinnell, Anne Carson and Thomas Lux, and actor Bill Murray walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and read poems along the way in the company of hundreds of other poetry fans as part of the 15th Annual Poetry Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge: A Benefit for Poets House. The evening also honored Lawrence Ferlinghetti, recipient of the 2010 Elizabeth Kray Award for service to the field of poetry, with readings by Bill Murray of Ferlinghetti's poetry as well as poetry published by his legendary publishing house City Lights Books.
Tina Chang reads from Mayakovsky's "Brooklyn Bridge."
