Public Poetry showcases the enduring power of poetry. We pay poets for their work and initiate collaborative partnerships that enrich the cultural economy, delivering poetry to audiences in Houston and beyond.

Our vision is to explore the power of poetry to spread appreciation and enjoyment of poetry in Houston and beyond; to bring high quality poetry events to public venues; to promote a diverse mix of poetry including academia, spoken word, youth, featuring well-regarded local poets, as well as regional and national voices, and to increase awareness of poetry’s varied forms and applications for non-poets and poets alike.
