POETRY INK
Poetry Ink
Nowhere else in Philly do we get such a wonderful mix of people, voices, and generations. It is an experience in the varieties of personalities as much as in poetry and poetics – everything from uplift to satire, from political protest to personal sorrow, love poems and tirades, transgression and decorum, the outrageous and the outraged, ranters and restrained formalists, street and academy, performance poets and shy ladies barely audible – pretty much the human spectrum.
- Poet Eleanor Wilner
This year marks the 15th Anniversary of Poetry Ink at the Moonstone Arts Center!
The event will take place on Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 12 PM and will feature the words and performance of more than 100 local poets. We’d love for you to be one of them!

We want you all: academic poets, famous poets, free form poets, street poets, unknown poets, spoken word poets, published poets, unpublished poets. You each get 3 minutes; that’s a full day of poetry!
We supply the coffee, you bring the desserts. For 2011, the readings will be in alphabetical order, A to Z – but by first name rather than last. We’re hoping to shake up the order a bit this time around.
