Wednesday, May 27, 2009 at 2:48PM Pianos was packed with a plenitude of people for Literary Death Match NYC Ep. 14, a brilliant affair that finished with a stirring game of the LDM original “Poet v. Madman.” After racing to an 8-8 tie at the end of regulation, Michael Muhammad Knight snared victory by guessing that the night’s final, mystery poet had 13 letters in his name, while Rivka Galchen guessed 24. The answer: Giuseppe Ungaretti (17). And Knight was crowned the newest LDM champ by NYC Ep. 13 B.C. Edwards.
