The Poetry Project’s full calendar of readings, performances, lectures, and classes is collaboratively curated by staff and fellows to present a range of perspectives, practices, generations, experiences, and communities. This collaboration is facilitated by the Project’s Program Director, Laura Henriksen, with the intention of making space for unlikely confluence and generative encounter, and view gathering and listening as much modes of experimentation as poetry is. Without circumscribing the poets, writers, and artists who share work at The Poetry Project, we pose frames of inquiry across each season of events to suggest points of relation and discussion across time.
The Poetry Project’s programming spans four primary series: the Monday Night Series for work from emerging writers; our headlining and longest-running series on Wednesday Nights; the Thursday Night Series, which focuses on experimental and experiential learning practices through Lectures and Dis/Courses; and the Friday Night interdisciplinary series.
