Ahadada books introduced the editors of The Straddler Magazine to NYC. The reading attracted an audience of 25 people and the poets who read.

The Co-inspirator images are of Douglas Rothchild, the Zinc Bar venue director; Robert Thompson, Ahadada Books NYC reading coordinator and MC (who also read one of his poems). Readers (in order of reading) included Dan Monaco, The Straddler co-editor and fiction writer; Elizabeth Murphy, poet and co-editor at The Straddler; Greg Bennetts, fiction writer and The Stradder writer; and Rich Murphy, Ahadada Books poet.

It being a Saturday night the readers and the audience conspired well into the night and into other venues and bars. Books were sold, and a great time was by all.
