One of New York City's biggest literary events, featuring more than 170 scheduled performers, returns to the historic Nuyorican Poets Café on New Year's Day. The 24th annual Alternative New Year's Day Spoken Word / Performance Extravaganza took place on January 1, 2018. The year's theme was Pa'lante a la Luz (Charge Into The Light ). The Alternative draws an overflow crowd every year. The Alternative, which continues to be free to the public, features poets, prose writers, monologists, musicians, dancers and other performers in a 10-hour showcase that ranges from some of New York's most seasoned talents to emerging stars. The lineup evolves each year to keep the event fresh and democratic. The audience is encouraged to donate paperback books to Books Through Bars (http: //booksthroughbarsnyc.org ) for people incarcerated in prison, and canned or boxed food or drink for City Harvest (https: //cityharvest.org), which provides for the hungry in New York. The Alternative began on New Year's Day in 1995, and quickly became one of the most popular events on the city's poetry and literary scene. Founder, Bruce Weber, is ably assisted by a staff of writers, designers and curators. Each year a fresh group of performers are plucked from all corners of the Tri-State area to enliven and transform The Alternative in unexpected ways. Adding to the mix, for the fifth consecutive year we've produced this anthology composed of featured writers, published by Rogue Scholars Press under the guidance of C. D. Johnson. We're excited about our continuing effort to bring in new voices every year and touch all corners of the city. This year promises to be spectacular, said Mr. Weber of this year's event.
