The Poetry Project

The Poetry Project is based at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery, a vibrant artistic and community space which includes the St.

Through its live programming, workshops, publications, website and special events, The Poetry Project promotes, fosters and inspires the reading and writing of contemporary poetry by presenting contemporary poetry to diverse audiences. Through its live programming, workshops, publications, website and special events, The Poetry Project promotes, fosters and inspires the reading and writing of cont

emporary poetry by (a) presenting contemporary poetry to diverse audiences, (b) increasing public recognition, awareness and appreciation of poetry and other arts, (c) providing a community setting in which poets and artists can exchange ideas and information, and (d) encouraging the participation and development of new poets from a broad range of styles. Since 1966, The Poetry Project has expanded access to literature, education, and opportunities for sharing one's creative work in a counter-hierarchical, radically open space and community. Premised on the vision that cultural action at the local level can inspire broader shifts in public consciousness, The Project is committed to developing and collaborating on replicable program models that challenge persistent social narratives, especially through the verbal reframing made possible in poetry. We do this work through a combination of live readings, performances, lectures, events, and workshops, in addition to literary and critical publications and an emerging writers program. Mark's Church congregation, Danspace Project, and New York Theatre Ballet.

At the end of this month, The Poetry Project will honor the memory of beloved writer Gary Indiana (1950–2024).

On January 27, 2024, friends, family and loved ones will gather in the Sanctuary at St. Mark’s to celebrate his extraordinary life. We welcome anyone who feels a meaningful connection to his life and work to join us for this event.

Featuring remarks and readings from: Tracey Emin, Jim Fletcher, Tobi Haslett, Kent Hoisington and Beth Nowicki, Roni Horn, Sam McKinniss, Billy Sullivan, Betsey Sussler, Lynne Tillman

Writing is the outcome of a playful process, a collaborative experiment resulting in poems that insist on their procedural nature, on being written with others. Please join us virtually on Wednesday, December 18 at 7pm to celebrate the work of the 2024 Fall Workshop participants!

Our favorite event, ritual, fever-dream, party, myth of the year is back! Please join us on January 1, 2025 for The Poetry Project's 51st Annual New Year's Day Marathon.

A daylong celebration of the actualizing power of poetry and performance, the Marathon is an event that feels like it happens because it has to and wants to—because we need it to. It’s as though every year before and every year following were somehow all leading up to it—this day, a time-honored tradition and a spacetime anomaly. It’s the annual event by which we mark our calendars and simultaneously serves as a disruption to the very idea of time—a sort of ridiculous compass—a day when nothing makes sense, or maybe the only day when everything becomes clear.

We don't really know what the Marathon is, or how exactly it comes together, and probably never will. But what is certain is that the Marathon changes us every year—which is precisely the power of its expansiveness, magnetism, impact, and ability to bring us together. It is a testament to our belief that poetry, performance, the avant-garde, the raucous, s*xy, surprising, subaltern, the weird, have the ability to effect change. A radical spark that stirs what is within us to ignition—a transformation and transmission that reaches beyond us. The Marathon is our annual reaffirmation in the strength of collectivity, in knowing that what we do here—together—does something.

Resonating within and across the legacies and lineages of past New Year’s Marathons—the first coordinated in 1974 by the much beloved co-founder and past Poetry Project Director, Anne Waldman—this monumental gathering features over 130 poets, musicians, dancers, writers, and performers who share work throughout the day. The Marathon has become our annual calling card, a rallying cry, and biggest fundraiser.

The funds raised at the New Year's Day Marathon directly support:

- The Poetry Project’s 50+ live readings and events which are live streamed (for free!) and reach thousands of in-person and virtual attendees each year

- Our quarterly Newsletter which publishes a breadth of creative and scholarly writing

- Our learning programs which serve hundreds of workshop attendees each season, including at least 3 fully-funded scholarship recipients per workshop

- The payments we make to the 200+ performers, readers, educators, lecturers, editors, curators, and writers we work with each year—as well as the audio and video techs that make our programs possible

The Marathon is crucial to sustaining The Poetry Project’s mission to serve and advocate for the vast community of poets, writers, artists, thinkers, and students who gather and make work here, and strengthens this cultural anti-enterprise that we have been collectively building for a half a century plus.

As we head into another year of compounded grief, unprecedented challenges, and palpable uncertainty, we look forward to the possibility of being with you all on January 1. What is there to hold onto? Each other, this day, our joy, our rage. Our impossible project. How do we hold onto it? By coming together. By organizing. With impossible belief.

See you in the New Year,
The Poetry Project

Please join us on Wednesday 12/4 at 7:30pm for Other Countries, Black Q***r Expression, 2024 Winter Solstice Reading!

By presenting the work of Black q***r writers, past and present, Other Countries' readings celebrate our voices, honor our ancestors, and foster reunions and new connections. Our early readings were hosted by The Studio Museum in 1989, The Le***an and Gay Center, and other venues throughout the 1990s and 2000s, and were revitalized in the 2020s at the Gene Frankel Theatre, the CUNY Graduate Center, The LGBTQ Center, and now The Poetry Project. Celebrating Black Q***r Expression, Other Countries’ 2024 Winter Solstice reading will feature invited wordsmiths and provide opportunities for open-mic readers selected on a first come, first sign-up basis.

This event is free-to-attend, no registration required. It will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project's YouTube channel.

Please join us on Friday 11/22 for Holland Andrews & yuniya edi kwon / Ka Baird & Zeena Parkins!

An evening featuring two of the most electrifying duos in the New York music scene. Composer-performers, multi-instrumentalists, and vocalists Holland Andrews and yuniya edi kwon co-create works in the interstices of composition, improvisation, dance, physical theater, and ritual. Ka Baird and Zeena Parkins, playing flute and harp respectively, make improvised music that brings their instruments and their bodies to their technological and corporeal limits. Both pairs play together at the edge of language, dialogically investigating a realm where linguistic signification dissolves into intensities of feeling.

We're pleased to share one more addition to Fall 2024 Workshops at The Poetry Project: Tethering Words: An Exploration on the Materiality of language; A Deep Study Session with Amany Khalifa and Alia Al-Sabi!

In the past year, the feeling has been that language is saturated to its brim. Oftentimes the distance that separates us from our kin in our besieged lands becomes both paralyzing and suffocating, and this is a tension that we have been trying to grapple with. With an influx of words, images, and speeches circulating endlessly, how can there be a collapse in language at the same time it overflows? We search within our own ancestral inheritance of revolutionary literature and praxis for modes of navigation that help guide us through this paradox, and in this study, we will be exploring and expanding on other guiding mediums from the collective traditions present in the group. We will also trace how language can embody the notion of “passage,” in both its literary and literal sense. Through this premise, we think of the movement embedded in the duality of the conceptual and the material manifestations of the word. We hope that the space of this study will be generative, experimental, and reflective of our disjointed, haunted, insistent, faithful, angry, and grieving present.

Monday, November 25, 7–10pm, in person at St Mark's. More information and registration @ poetryproject.org/learning

Crooning deadpan ballads or podcasting for long-distance truckers, Macy Rodman is a multigenre performance sensation with a wicked comic mind. Writer, director and comedian Julio Torres makes blistering sense of a bad world with fond absurdity and surreal desperation. The combination of their shared, explosive insights at the Project is sure to catalyze something—a new shape, a rock ‘n’ roll gender, an avant-garde letter of the alphabet, a permanent vacation from the gig economy? Come through to find out for yourself.

Wednesday, November 20 at 8pm, in the sanctuary at St Mark's Church.

This event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project's YouTube channel.

Please join us for an evening featuring readings by Geoffrey Olsen and Ted Rees. Both poets released new full-length books in Spring 2024.

Please join us on Wednesday 11/13 for Lou Cornum & Trish Salah.

In lyric experiment and searing insight, Trish Salah locates the subject in a minefield of dispossession, and thinks in often discomfiting ways about how a poetics of gender liberation might meaningfully expand the projects of anti-racist and anti-colonial social transformation. Lou Cornum thinks through disaster and utopia, making sense of accumulated forms of consciousness across centuries of struggle to illuminate how an unlivable world could be made otherwise.

Please join us Monday, November 11 at 8pm in celebrating the release of Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary (Verso, 2023).

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy is a veteran of the infamous Stonewall Riots, a former s*x worker, and a transgender elder and activist who has survived Bellevue psychiatric hospital, Attica Prison, the HIV/AIDS crisis, and a world that white supremacy has built. She has shared tips with other s*x workers in the nascent drag ball scene of the late 1960s and helped found one of America’s first needle exchange clinics from the back of her van.

Miss Major Speaks is both a document of her brilliant life—told with intimacy, warmth, and an undeniable levity—and a roadmap for the challenges black, brown, q***r and trans youth face on the path to liberation today. For this event, Miss Major will read from the book and after, she and coauthor Toshio Meronek will be joined by artists and activists Morgan Bassichis and Una Osato to discuss critical themes that surface in the text, including envisioning freedom beyond mainstream institutions and nonprofit organizing.

The event is free with registration. Masks will be required and books will be available.

This event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project's YouTube channel.

Please join us on Friday, November 8 for Rachel Hunter Himes & Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste!

What is the difference between a sh*tty review and a bad review? What modes of racialized and gendered apprehension and misapprehension constitute art criticism? What happens when artists refuse the critical appraisal of their work? This evening brings the artist Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste and the art historian Rachel Hunter Himes together in pursuit of questions such as these. Hovering between a reading, a performance, and a conversation, the night will investigate what is at stake, both politically and formally, in critical writing and aesthetic evaluation.

Within the first few weeks of our Spring 2024 season—beautifully, potently, and thoughtfully curated by Laura Henriksen, Program Director at the Project—we have already witnessed the connective and energizing ways gathering to engage with and support the work of poets and poetry makes possible more expansive conversations and exchange around language, community-building, and the present moment. These moments of confluence, deep listening, learning, interconnection—the gift of being present in space and time with one another to radically support and organize around poetry—is at the heart of our work. Poetry Project Membership is a crucial way of creating and deepening these connections, and of intentionally supporting the poets, writers, performers, thinkers, and educators who make our work and this Project of poetry possible. Whether you’ve been a long time member and supporter of The Poetry Project, have only attended one or two events, or have been returning to our events, programming, and publications over the past few years, we’d be honored if you might consider deepening your participation in The Poetry Project’s community by becoming a Poetry Project Member this spring. Membership benefits range from discounted/free admissions to Poetry Projects events, early access to workshop registrations, an annual subscription to our publications, and more. Beyond these perks, Poetry Project Membership provides essential material support that directly impacts our community and programming, helping us to pay poets, presenters, performers, and publication contributors equitably; provide workshop scholarships and free learning programs; and expand the accessibility of our events through offering live streaming, CART captioning, ASL, and other language accessibility services.

“To name it now so as not to repeat history in oblivion. To extract each fragment from the word from the image another word another image the reply that will not repeat history in oblivion,” writes Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, whom The Poetry Project will celebrate this spring, alongside Wendy's Subway. Each poet, writer, artist, teacher, and performer we'll welcome as part our Spring 2024 Season demonstrates in different ways this work of fragmentation and excavation, of remembering and divining, of learning the lessons of history outside the bright cold of oblivion. Against that emptiness, we offer this abundance of word and image, song and sound, we offer these evenings together in our poetry church.
