Monday 2/13 @ the Bowery Poetry Club 308 Bowery (Blkr & Houston) bowerypoetry.com

5:00pm - 7:00pm Study Abroad on the Bowery! Visiting Professor PAUL AUSTER $10/$5 student/Free SAB + Poetry Project This Event at the Bowery Poetry Club (most Study Abroad Visiting Writers will read/talk at CUNY Grad Center this term) "Becoming a writer is not a 'career decision' like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don't choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you're not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days." Recognized as one of the US's most extraordinary writers and the only US citizen in the French Academy, Auster has published sixteen books including The New York Trilogy and Moon Palace and four books of poetry, edited The Random House Book of French Poetry, and made four films, including the cult favorite Smoke. He has received the French Academy's Order of Arts and Letters along with fellow Americans Robert Redford, Susan Sontag and Meryl Streep.
