M. G Stephens was 20 years old when he first showed up at the newly opened Poetry Project in the East Village in 1966. Forty years later, he received his doctorate on those early days in downtown New York. When Poetry Was the World is girded by that research, although it is also a straight up memoir full of stories from the 1960s on the Lower East Side.
