Street appeal: East Village resident David Godlis has a new book of photographs

Longtime East Village resident David Godlis has a new book of photographs — "Godlis Streets" (Reel Art Press), which focuses on his body of work from the 1970s and 1980s.

On Thursday at 5 p.m., there's a virtual book launch and conversation with Godlis along with special guests Luc Sante and Chris Stein. (The two contributed the book's foreword and afterword.) Find the info to tune in right here. 

His previous book, "History Is Made at Night" (from 2016), chronicles the heyday of the scene at CBGB between 1976 and 1979.

    This talk was really wonderful - intimate, engaging, fun and inspiring. I could listen to Mr Godlis talk all day, so I hope there are more events like this.
