Enjoy Gowanus this weekend with poetry, comedy or canoeing
EDITORS’ NOTE: The Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club has all of the tools to take Brooklynites on a trip–either on the waters of the famed canal, or cultural journeys in the vital ethos of environmental preservation. Below , courtesy of the Dredgers, are a few highlights, including a musical one tonight (Wednesday, September 28).
This week, the The Gowanus Dredgers will offer Poetry Afloat with our canoes and Poetry on Gowanus Walls; 7 short films, followed by live responses by local poets at 2nd St.
