Movie Marquee Poems
Movie Marquee Poem with poet Drew Pisarra.

During the yearlong renovation of Nitehawk Cinema Prospect Park in 2017, Saint Flashlight took over the building’s unused three-sided marquee with film-themed haiku. Once the arthouse officially opened, Nitehawk again devoted a side of their marquee to poetry in 2019 since the initial project had proven so popular. 

Participating poets included Marcus Amaker, Tania Asnes, Pamela S. Booker, Regie Cabico, Jessica van Campen, Cathy Linh Che, Mare Davis, Christine Fall, Molly Bianca Gross, Karen Hudes, Aponi Kafele, Nina Katchadourian, Jason Koo, Jen Lam, Nicki Lilavois, Kate Lutzner, Lisa Ann Markuson, Diane Mehta, Drew Pisarra, Emmy Lane Potter, Octavio Roscioli, Seth‏ Rosenbaum, Steven Santos‏, Purvi Shah, Erick Szentmiklosy, Genevieve Wollenbecker, and Troy Woodley.
