About the Reading
COUPLET signifies the “coupling” of two things: poetry and music. When the series was created, Poet, Leah Umansky and Co-Producer Carlos Rey Sebastián, (DJ Ceremony,) bonded and became friends over a joint love for Britpop, Glam Rock and New Wave music. In developing a reading series, they “coupled” their two loves: poetry and music. COUPLET strives to curate events that “couple,” or bring together, both emerging and established poets. We typically host 4-5 poets, with a brief intermission and a DJ after-party.
