Discover and share poetry alongside fellow poetry lovers.

We have more than 100 collections of poetry, spanning cultures and centuries available to browse in our library (open 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday), including Maya Angelou, Ross Gay, Ḥāfiẓ, Langston Hughes, Mary Karr, Mary Oliver, Li Po, Rainer Maria Rilke, Rumi, and Kevin Young, to name just a few.

You can share your new (or old!) favorites during monthly discussion meetings here on the last Wednesday of each month (12 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. on May 28, June 25, July 30, and August 27).

Light refreshments will be served, or feel free to bring a vegetarian lunch.
