The 20th Annual Poetry Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge
A Benefit for Poets House
Jun 8, 2015 | 6:30 pm
Event Navigation
Join us for the 20th anniversary of our annual poetic pilgrimage across one of our city’s most beloved landmarks. Great poets including Richard Blanco , Brooklyn Poet Laureate Tina Chang, Cornelius Eady, Edward Hirsch, Laura Kasischke, Thomas Lux, Ocean Vuong, and special guest Bill Murray read classic NYC-inspired poems under the arches of the Bridge as we trek en masse from Manhattan to Brooklyn, where a delicious dinner, wine, and more words await. This is a do-not-miss New York City tradition.
All proceeds help make possible the hundreds of free and affordable public programs Poets House presents each year.
