Poem in Your Pocket Day: A Landmark Celebration

Neighborhood Poetry Read-In with Brooklyn & Queens Poets Laureate Join Tina Chang (Brooklyn) and Paolo Javier (Queens), our young pocket-poets and their families, and other special guests for an afternoon of readings and fun—bring a poem or find one here to share! A great after-school event for families and poetry lovers of all ages, and a festive culmination of our year-long work with local school children. Throughout the day, Poets House staff and volunteers will distribute pocket-sized poems, written by budding poets from neighboring elementary schools and inspired by local landmarks, in recognition of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Law.
