Our Format has changed:
Each organization will present one poet to represent them, who will read for five minutes. In the spirit of the event, we ask that organization leaders or editors not read, but choose a poet to spotlight.
There will be an area for the circulation of program brochures, flyers and information about dozens of Philadelphia poetry and writing outlets. Bring your favorite series ’ information to share! This is the area ’ s most comprehensive poetry event solely dedicated to celebrating Greater Philadelphia Poetry in all of its manifestations . Be there or be square!
And .... We're in a New Location!
This year's festival will be held at
The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut Street in West Philadelphia. Join us on Sunday, April 24 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to experience a unique sampling of the greatest poetry on earth and the greatest poetry community under the sun !
Register now to introduce your favorite poetry org to the greater Philadelphia poetry community OR just come and listen to the spoken word on the 24th!
Come and find out about all the other poetry orgs, series, coordinators, and more .. in the Philly and surrounding areas. Each poetry series or organization will send someone to speak a little about their respective program(s) and will bring one poet to read - to represent them!
