The New York City Poetry Festival

I’m excited to be reading for No, Dear magazine at The White Horse stage, starting at 1:30.

Every summer, The New York City Poetry Festival invites poetry organizations and collectives of all shapes and sizes to bring their unique formats, aesthetics, and personalities to the festival grounds, which are ringed with a collection of beautiful Victorian houses and tucked beneath the wide, green canopies of dozens of century old trees. By uniting the largest community of poets in the country and offering a unique setting for literary activity, the New York City Poetry Festival electrifies arts and literature and brings poetry to new light in the public eye.

Artists on Artists: Ekphrastic Poetry Reading

Poets Joshua Bennett, Desiree Bailey, Marwa Helal, Chanice Hughes-Greenberg, Aracelis Girmay, and Nkosi Nkululeko will activate and respond to Fictions through a reading of ekphrastic texts in the galleries! Each poet will share work they have written in response to specific works on view in the exhibition, and highlight the creative, interdisciplinary relationship between contemporary poetry and visual art. This program also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary relationships amongst artists seeking to expand linguistic, social and historical boundaries.

This event is a part of Last Look, a four-day celebration of art and artists from the final exhibition season in the current building of The Studio Museum in Harlem.
