The goal of this fabulous gala is to raise funds and awareness for the 14th Annual New York City Poetry Festival, the largest free gathering of poets in the country! 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. The New York City Poetry Festival electrifies arts and literature and brings poetry to new light in the public eye.

Passed hors d'oeuvres will balance your sips as you bid for a 7 Night English Lakeland Retreat or a Luxury Mexican Resort Escape at the auction. Take a break to refill your glass, and let Performance Artist Haleh Liza Gafori and Spoken Word Artist Jasmine Rosario bewitch with their words.
