Poetry Readings

Around the United States and in many other countries, poets gathered beginning February 12th to read their works as a powerful statement of public and collective resistance to the Bush administration's drive toward war in Iraq. We encourage you to set up your own public readings of poetry against the war, contact the press in your city or town, and make the heavens sing with the power of this protest. 


Want help with the poetry reading you're planning? We've put together a quick How To Guide for organizing a reading. We've also prepared a Sample Press Release for you to adapt and use.

Submit a Reading for listing on this page.
