Poetry at Large
Poetry at Large programs take poetry to corners far beyond the Poets House walls. Through partnerships and initiatives, Poets House has cultivated a number of programs that allow everyone to enjoy poetry in zoos, trains, libraries and other places in the world.
A master list of all Poets House programs held from 1986 to the present can be found here.
