Favorite Poem Project
In partnership with Calliope Poetry, we are so pleased to once again host the Favorite Poem Project on Sunday, April 26 3-5 p.m. Join us in hearing community members from all walks of life share their favorite poem and what makes it special to them.
About the Favorite Poem Project: At its inception, the Favorite Poem Project put out an open call for people across the country to share their favorite poems. Eighteen thousand Americans—from ages 5 to 97, from every state, representing a range of occupations, kinds of education, and backgrounds—wrote to the project. From those thousands of letters and emails, the Favorite Poem Project created a series of short documentaries and anthologies. The project continues to create short films and educational resources, and to host readings, in order to document and encourage the sharing of poetry across the world.
