On October 29, Underwater New York hosted a reading in conjunction with Silent Beaches, Untold Stories, an exhibit curated by Elizabeth Albert at St. John’s University. The evening featured original work written for Underwater New York by St. John’s faculty members Robert Fanuzzi, Steve Mentz, Gabriel Brownstein and Lee Ann Brown, and special guest Nelly Reifler. UNY contributing poet Nicole Cirino read a poem to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, which fell on the same evening as the reading.
