A Place for Poetry
Poets House is a national poetry library and literary center that invites poets and the public to step into the living tradition of poetry.
In The Spotlight: Our Fall 2018 Season
This fall concludes Poets House’s 30th Anniversary celebration, honoring three decades of making a home for poetry. Please join us as we journey through history with Epic Voices, a series of programs about epics and long poems from ancient to contemporary times. We also invite you to explore Bettissima: Treasures from the Elizabeth Kray Archive, an exhibition of correspondence between great American poets of the 20th century and Betty Kray, who co-founded Poets House with Stanley Kunitz. These events complement other fall programs featuring influential poets and poetic lineages that shape contemporary practice and help us to understand our world.
