This is the 8th volume in a series of anthologies. Over the years, this series, and its parent event, has featured hundreds of poets and hundreds of written works, for the enjoyment of thousands of people who have gathered in the Village year after year on January 1st, New Year’s Day, to hear these words spoken in person. But this is sadly the second year in a row in which Covid-19 has interrupted the historic live-reading event, the Alternative New Year’s Day Spoken Word / Performance Extravaganza! But those voices aren’t silent. In their assemblage, aggregation, and diversity, they still scream loud from the empty stages of the The Village in New York City — and beyond — to let us know:
« The Poet never dies! »
...They just drift in and out of this world like the northern winds which bring the summer rains. But, in this case, in the middle of winter.
While the Earth may be cold, the breath of the Poet is hot. Steamy. Sticky. Passionate...
With Love in the Time of Corona, you may not be able to bring a poet home with you on New Year’s, but you can still invite a few in via the written word. 103 poets and artists who will happily whisper in your ear, one after another, like An Embroidery Of Voices.
— Un Bordado De Voces.

[An] annual happening, an alternative to the annual Poetry Project marathon, has become a tradition itself. One hundred fifty poets and performers—including Miguel Algarin, Jennifer Blowdryer and Hattie Gossett—read their verses. There will also be an open-mike component for those revelers who sign up early enough.
- Time Out
...Years ago a rebel camp started up a free Alternative New Year's Day Spoken Word/Performance Extravaganza to give voice to a more rambunctious cast of lesser-known ranters and scribblers—though you'll find some of the St. Marks crowd straying over here too. This year's alt roundup is themed "In From the Cold," and features 150-plus performers, including Penny Arcade, Hettie Jones, John S. Hall, Tsaurah Litzky, Bingo Gazingo, Hal Sirowitz, Taylor Mali, Wanda Phipps, and Bob Holman, plus an open mic for those who sign up early. Bring donations of canned food for City Harvest and paperbacks for Books Through Bars, a prison literacy program.
- The Village Voice
The Alternative New Year’s Day reading extravaganza comes again to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in its 21st year. “Shadow of the Geode” welcomes more than 160 performers of poetry, music, dance and more, plus they offer an open mic throughout the day. Penny Arcade and Miguel Algarin are among those performing against a backdrop of hand-painted murals and photographic light shows.

The Alternative New Year's Day Spoken Work and Performance Extravaganza sure does get around. In years past, the annual multi-media showcase for culturally diverse poets, musicians, performers and artists has taken place at the Knitting Factory (now in Brooklyn), Bowery Poetry Club (swallowed up by Duane Park) and Dixon Place (still thriving on Chrystie St.), But no matter how much times change, the dependable January 1 event refuses to fade away — or budge. "Twenty years and we are still burning," say the organizers, who made this year's theme (Estrellas En El Fuego, or Stars in the Fire) a nod to their unyielding presence in the neighborhood. "We are still burning," they note, "burning words, sounds, noise — bringing our spirits to the stage. We are all stars. We will not be incinerated nor eclipsed."
