What We do
A lot of amazing poetry is being created in the Kalamazoo area. The Kalamazoo Poetry Festival was created to make sure everyone knows about it. We hold a multi-day Poetry Festival every other year, which includes guest poets, workshops, readings, craft talks, and other activities. Everyone is invited and the events are free.
Keynote Readers
We invite well-known poets from around the country to come read and give a craft a talk. Check out our past events to see who’s read before!
Workshops
We facilitate a number of writing workshops taught by local poets. The workshops are often developed around a central theme.
Celebration of Community Poets
Every year we hold a reading event that features many amazing poets from around the Kalamazoo area.
