Don't miss out - let the arts and amazing vibes fill you with inspiration, and a few libations...
Celebrating 10 years of uniting New York City's vast and diverse poetry community, The 10th Annual New York City Poetry Festival hosted by The Poetry Society of New York is ready for another weekend of the arts, libations, stunning imagery and unforgettable memories to be shared with attendees!
Fostering an approachable, engaging, diverse, progressive, lively, and culturally prominent literary community lies at the core of the festival’s mission. Poets bring to light issues of vital importance; they create avenues of intellect, introspection, political awareness, and artistic communication for anyone to enjoy.
While you meet, read, listen, and collaborate in the festival's very own poetry village, you'll enjoy respite in the VIP tent fully loaded with nosh from Trader Joes, and drinks from the likes of Absinthia Absinthe, Brooklyn Brewery, Lost Poet Wine, gins, and whiskeys, among others.
Headliners like Deborah Landau, Terrance Hayes, Ariana Reines, and Kaveh Akbar will bewilder and empower, and you'll also benefit from an annual membership to The Poetry Society of New York that comes with a ton of other perks to be found here.
