Burning Well: Poetry of Leonard Cohen

Join us for an evening of poetry and improvisational live jazz as distinguished writers and musicians collaborate to interpret the legendary work of Leonard Cohen, featuring surprise guest appearances, raffles and more!

Co-presented by The Poetry Society of New York, an artist-led nonprofit creating innovative poetry experiences, this event serves as the official kickoff fundraiser for the inaugural NYC Leonard Cohen Festival (April 2027).
