Sufjan Stevens will be appearing at the BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in early November, but you can catch him performing for another New York acronymic mainstay, the PEN American Center (which officially stands for poets, playwrights, essayists, editors, and novelists) on November 28th at 8pm at Southpaw (125 Fifth Ave. Park Slope, Brooklyn). Sufjan will be speaking and performing alongside fellow writer/musicians Rick Moody, and John Wesley Harding (aka Wesley Stace).

Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are $10 and available in advance from the Southpaw website.
