Pen Parentis, an organization devoted to supporting writers who are also parents, kicks off its thirteenth season with its annual Winter Poetry Night, featuring Diana Whitney, Adam Penna, Sarah Gutowski, Jared Harel, and Jennifer Michael Hecht. The poets will read from their work and discuss balancing creativity with domestic responsibilities. Wine will be served. (Andaz Wall Street, 75 Wall St. penparentis.org. Jan. 13 at 7.)
