Join us for an evening with star Andrei Codrescu, filmmaker Julian Semilian and composer Laura Semilian for the first New York screening of “Fish Have No Psychiatrists: A Day With Andrei Codrescu.” The film is a creative documentary collage centering around the life and times of poet, novelist, public speaker and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu. 60 years after director Julian Semilian and Andrei meet on a plane while emigrating from România to the United States, Julian visits Andrei in Brooklyn for a freewheeling day of 20th Century nostalgia and current creative insights. Bowery Poetry Club Feb 4, 7pm

Screening will be followed by a question and answer period with Andrei Codrescu, Director Julian Semilian and score composer Laura Semilian

Unexpected lucky find yesterday whilst spur-of-the moment antiquing, hanging from a nail amidst somebody's old book collection. Looks to have been worn so much most of the tail came off!
