The 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Opening Reception

Join us for readings, conversation, and celebration to open this year’s Poets House Showcase, a free exhibit featuring all of the new poetry books and poetry-related texts published in the United States in a single year from over 650 commercial, university, and independent presses.

Followed by the Showcase Opening Reading.
The Showcase Reading Series featuring established and emerging poets with books featured in the exhibition will take place Thursdays, July 9-30, at 7:00pm.

This diverse and inclusive exhibition will be on view through August 8.

Co-presented by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Poets House as part of the River To River Festival 2015. A Lower Manhattan Cultural Council public engagement initiative, River To River inspires residents, workers, and visitors in Lower Manhattan, by connecting them to artists, new ideas and perspectives, and other art-lovers to demonstrate the role that artists play in creating vibrant, sustainable communities.
