Hello! We are hosting our 23^rd annual Poetry Ink release event which will be commemorated by readings from 84 (not quite 100 this year!) poets. Join us in enjoying the work of academic poets, famous poets, free form poets, street poets, unknown poets, spoken word poets, published poets, unpublished poets- you name it! Poetry Ink was created with the goal of generating conversation between poets of different ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, and stylings in order to celebrate Philadelphia’s historically diverse literary community.

Accordingly, the 100 Poets Reading aims to provide a platform for poets from all different walks of life so that the audience and readers alike may enjoy new poetic experiences- nowhere else in Philadelphia is there such a unique congregation of poets and poetry. Food contributions are encouraged, as this will be a potluck community event for all ages. Whether you stop by for hours or just a few minutes, an enjoyable time is guaranteed for all attendees.
