Evergreen is a historic U.S. based literary magazine, first published in 1957 and known for its commitment to the progressive side of politics. They debuted pivotal works by Samuel Beckett, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Marguerite Duras, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, Pablo Neruda, Vladimir Nabokov, Frank O’Hara, Susan Sontag and Malcolm X.  We're excited for this merging of our Bushwick Book Club audience with the Evergreen community of writers and readers.

The Bushwick Book Club is a literature-inspired performance series and podcast that invites local songwriters and artists to plumb the depths of a chosen literary gem to create that rare and beautiful thing – a new song (or visual art, dance, film or snack).  All songs are then performed at a live show. The Bushwick Book Club now has several branches all over the world, including Seattle, Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, New Orleans, Greenville, NC, London and Malmö, Sweden.  The Bushwick Book Club podcast is available on iTunes and SoundCloud.
