A Place for Poetry

This spring, join us here at Poets House for an exciting season of readings, talks, and programs!

• Our Epic Voices series continues with talks by Bernadette Mayer, Jordan Abel, and many more;
• Passwords, our long-running series of poets on poets, includes events on Diane di Prima, Gerrit Lansing, and others;
• Yanyi and Simone White visit us for craft talks;
• Plus PH at AWP, Poem in Your Pocket Day, the 24th annual Poetry Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge, and more!

We invite you to start the year right by applying for our upcoming winter master class with Dorianne Laux, or registering for one of our remaining six-week open enrollment classes with Rosebud Ben-Oni and Michael Broder.

We’re also thrilled to announce Chapbooks of the Mimeo Revolution, our new digital collection! Once a month, a rare chapbook from our library will be digitized and added to the site, complete with commentary on its cultural and historic context and relevant multimedia, when available. These curated chapbooks will be drawn from the years of the Mimeo Revolution, a period from the 1960s to the mid-1980s when small presses and grassroots poetry communities proliferated. We launch with Change of Address & Other Poems, the first book by poet Kathleen Fraser, a guiding force in feminist avant-garde poetics—please enjoy!
