Entering its 4th year, Poetry Downtown is a free poetry event in America and it’s features the most renowned poets of our day alongside those at the start of promising careers. This poetry festival is open to the public and includes leactures, talkshows, workshops, readings, and social activities all focused on poetry.
Each year we honor a distinguished poet for lifetime achievement. This year we celebrate Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 Boston, MA – October 7, 1849 Baltimore, MD). He has contributed to and changed contemporary writing through his poetry and short stories.
To date, we are looking for support and help to take our event to the next level of impact—continuing to make this a free event for all, enhancing the honoraria for the writers we feature and honor, building our promotion and event execution, and supporting workshops throughout the year that contribute to Poetry Downtown each year.
