Tel Aviv Diary: Karen Alkalay-Gut

I love the Bowery Poetry Club and the Cornelia Street Cafe. They are great places to perform in an intimate setting. We saw a recital last week at the Cornelia Street Cafe and met the wonderful owner Robin Hirsch. Tonight we performed at the Bowery Poetry Club where Bob Holman made us feel at home, Eliel, and Nick the sound man just made a perfect environment for us. (Piano sucked, though. Somebody has got to donate a good piano to them). And we HAVE to have a place like that for poetry in Tel Aviv. We’ll put the show on Youtube shortly
