As a poetry presenting organization, our work is premised on collaboration and gathering. Even without the vast networks of support that underlie other performing arts disciplines, we refused to allow the pandemic to push us into dormancy. In our work of carving out a distinctive radical online space, we have been more connective, curious, and experimental than we've ever been. With the launch of our 2020 innovative programs including the new Experimental Lecture Series, House Party Publication, and Curatorial Fellowship, we remain committed to growing our community of collaborators regardless of the modality in which we gather. Can you help us sustain our commitment to paying artists, teachers, editors, and writers in the new year by making a small gift of $5, $10, $25, or $50? Link to donate in bio.
