Brooklyn Poets
NY, New York, United States
Celebrating and cultivating the poets, poetry and literary heritage of Brooklyn, the birthplace of American poetry.
Brooklyn Poets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization celebrating and cultivating the poets, poetry and literary heritage of Brooklyn. Our workshops, readings, open mics and annual retreat foster a more close-knit, homegrown, diverse community of poets and readers than what we see traditionally offered by graduate writing programs and the American literary community at large. Our community extends through The Bridge, a unique online network connecting poets and mentors throughout the world.
