Join us as we kick
off the 4-day Dodge Poetry Festival with Teacher
Day, which offers free
admission to pre-registered teachers, administrators, school
counselors and librarians on Thursday, October 20, 2022. This day is designed especially for educators like you, who want to
rejuvenate your love for poetry, discover new voices, reconnect with
special poems, share your work at open readings, see old friends, and
receive a free Poetry Kit for Teachers filled with poems and
activities to bring back to your school.
At the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC)
and in other beautiful and historic spaces around the Downtown Arts
District of Newark, New Jersey, poets ranging from U.S. Poets
Laureate to young emerging voices will come together for readings and
panel discussions that showcase the vibrancy and diversity of
contemporary poetry.
