"Thank you for DogStarNYC, in general. The site speaks to so many kinds of interests; it discerns which qualities will appeal to many different tastes in a tremendous number of activities. I love how it encourages young people to pay attention to the unusual.

In New York we let so many teens walk around the periphery, mildly shell-shocked by life, while the information that they need to make sense of their world sits in the center of the room. DogStarNYC welcomes them into the middle of the room; the blog tells them how to walk there." - Stacy L.

Watch Lemon perform a poem at PEN Benefit

DOG STAR knows there are many poets and writers among us.  PEN is an international organization dedicated to fighting for the rights of writers, especially those imprisoned for speaking out.

PEN also has a program to bring writing workshops to prisons.  We found a video of Lemon's reading from a prize-winning poem and other work.  Watch other poets and writers in the same evening at the PEN website.

Here to see Lemon Andersen read "Prison Moon" 


Here for more video from the same evening
