The Harry Ransom Center presents the Poetry on the Plaza event Bohemian Rhapsodies: Poems of Greenwich Village on Wednesday, November 2, at noon.
This program is held in conjunction with the Center's exhibition The Greenwich Village Bookshop Door: A Portal to Bohemia, 1920–1925, which runs through January 22.
As early as 1921, noteworthy visitors to Frank Shay's bookshop, located at 4 Christopher Street in the heart of Greenwich Village in New York City, began signing the narrow door that opened onto the store's back room. When the shop closed in 1925, manager Juliette Koenig preserved the door and, with it, a revelatory slice of cultural history. Signed by 240 writers, artists, actors, publishers, and other community members, this unusual artifact presents a unique opportunity to reconsider the intersecting communities that made the Village an epicenter of American modernism and literary commerce.
Refreshments will be served at this free event.
