The New York City Poetry Festival

Poets, of course

featuring poets Michael Guillen, Harvey Pacht, Joseph Perez, Noemi Urena, Christian Baptiste, Jordan Walker, Anthony Newman, Wayne Boston, Gerard Grant, and hosted by Catherine James.

Poets, of Course are a collective of creative people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our normal might not be your normal. We are smooth and soft like ice cream on a hot day. We occupy new dimensions. We acknowledge our partnerships with the direct support professionals that support us. We are proudly present our dazzling neurodivergent creativity for all. We have performed at the CUNY Poetry Festival, the New York City Poetry Festival, local parks, community centers and independent book stores.
