The 3rd Annual New York City Poetry Festival will be held on Governors Island’s Colonel’s Row on July 27th and 28th, 2013. The Poetry Society of New York will once again invite New Yorkers to come together for this two day festival to celebrate NYC’s vibrant poetry community. The event will include over 50 poetry organizations and 200 poets on its three stages; a Vendor’s Village where local booksellers, artists and craftmakers will sell their wares; a boozy area sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery; healthy and delicious food options; poetry-inspired installation art throughout, and, of course, the legendary Children’s Festival at NYCPF!
