The New York City Poetry Festival

  • Governors Island New York (map)

As well as socializing and selling at the great weather for MEDIA book table throughout the New York City Poetry Festival the whole weekend, I am delighted to perform at the Algonquin stage for NeuroNautic on Sunday at 12:30 pm. Joining me are Puma Perl, Jerry Johnson, Bonafide Rojas & Matthew Hupert. What fun! The festival is free to attend and an short, easy, and cheap ferry ride from Manhattan or Brooklyn.

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.
