Live Events

Each year, Poetry Month highlights a selection of the poetic talent to be found across the country through a series of curated and partnered live events. A rich and multifaceted program of events unfolds across August in a month-long nationwide celebration that explores all the ways the poetic is vital to cultural and civic life.

Hear from emerging, mid-career and established poets and spoken word artists alongside musicians and public figures demonstrating that poetry is alive in more ways than ever.
