Boston Poetry Marathon 2019: Now in Copley Square
The Boston Poetry Marathon is THIS WEEKEND! From Friday, August 16 to Sunday, August 18, over 125 poets from near and far will gather together to read 8 minutes each. The event runs from 6pm-10:30pm on Friday, 12pm-10:30pm on Saturday, and 12pm-6:30pm on Sunday.
New Location in Copley Square
We're so excited about our new location at the Community Church of Boston. When we realized we would be near the actual Boston Marathon finish line, we realized we had to do something in honor of the beloved Boston distance running event...Can you see it?

Over 125 Poets Reading Poems
The schedule of readers is online at http://bit.ly/BPM2019-tentative-schedule It's pretty much the final schedule, give or take a few minor last minute adjustments. We have poets coming from near and far (as far as Israel!), of all ages, types, and aesthetics joining together for poetic reverie.

You Should Come, Too
This event is free and open to the public. Bring your friends! Join us for poetry, reverie, and a celebration of art. Donations are welcome and appreciated. See you on Friday!!!
