For over a decade, The New York City Poetry Festival has invited poetry organizations and collectives of all shapes and sizes to bring their unique formats, aesthetics, and personalities to the festival grounds, which are ringed with a collection of beautiful Victorian houses and tucked beneath the wide, green canopies of dozens of century old trees. By offering a unique setting for literary activity, the New York City Poetry Festival electrifies arts and literature and brings poetry to new light in the public eye. The Poetry Society of New York is honored to produce this iconic event, to build stages—literally and figuratively—for NYC’s vibrant, diverse poetry community to gather, express themselves, hear and be heard.
