The People's Poetry Gathering, co-founded by Poets House and City Lore in 1999 and co-produced in 1999, 2001, and 2003, was instrumental in bringing together all the written and oral poetries of the world, fostering connections, collaborations, and understanding. In doing so, the Gathering has heightened the art and its discourse.
