It was fantastic. Impeccably researched, organized, written. The actors were delightful. And creative. New York never looked better. Thank you for a beautiful urban experience!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the first-ever New York Sonnet Walk. The rain and overcast sky added to the romance of the day, and the tour of Lower Manhattan was especially impressive. I have worked downtown since 1994 and am quite familiar with Broad and Pearl Streets, but I had no idea about Lovelace’s Tavern, or the cistern, or that crazy Marketfield St. I was a bit concerned about the actor on that street, but she did have a cell phone…
As soon as I got home I took down my book of sonnets and reread every one.

The Sonnet Walk gets a rave from me! What a delight. The spontaneity and inventiveness of the event along with each actor’s very unique gifts were totally appreciated by our entire group!

Lynne Taylor (Los Angeles, NY)

Thank you so much! You brought a group of people together and turned us into a team – wondering who on the street was the next sonnet-reciting treasure. Very nice way to spend an afternoon, really new and exciting and I hope it continues.

Great fun on a drizzly Sunday.

Max Vogler (New York, NY)

Wonderful! The sonnets felt so modern. I almost couldn’t believe they hadn’t been re-written into slam poetry or contemporary monologues. I was also delighted that we got to be exposed to the beauties of the Financial District.

Steve Benathan (Brooklyn, NY)

Great experience: in such gloomy and bleak weather beams of light glowed through the poetry recited by “strangers” on the streets of old NYC. Thank you so much.

Roberto Muzzetta (Milan, Italy)

This was so wonderful and original. I enjoyed it very much. Would love to take my high school students on it!

Carol Palermo (New York, NY)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel utterly refreshed in New York City! Beautifully done, exquisite actors and actresses – a delight, a surprise, and so good to HEAR the words – all of them! BRAVO!!!!!

Sally Eberhardt (New York, NY)

Too delightful. The actors, the direction, the settings: all flawless. Thank you.

Jonathan B Lester (New York, NY)

It felt like we were this small, secret society wandering through an ancient version of New York City that only we could see. I really enjoyed reading the descriptions of the historical buildings and places we walked through. The sonnets were wonderful. It was great to hear poetry spoken on the streets of New York City. It was a magical experience and I hope you repeat it again next summer!

Michelle Marie Elliot (New York, NY)

This was absolutely wonderful. Congratulations on a job well done and count me in for next year.

Briel Steinberg (New York, NY)

Great job! Despite the rain, it was a lot of fun! It was fun walking around and seeing the actors in different places while learning about the area. Thanks for a great time.
