Every fall, poets and readers alike gather in New York City for the Poets Forum, a three-day celebration of poetry hosted by the American Academy of Poets. This year, the 6th annual Poets Forum will take place October 18-20 on the campuses of New York University and The New School, and will feature over 30 major American poets, including BOA poets Naomi Shihab Nye and Craig Morgan Teicher! Forum events include a Chancellor's reading by the Academy's fifteen Chancellors (including Nye), a series of discussion panels with major poets on topics and issues in contemporary poetry, guided walking tours revisiting the histories of writers like E. E. Cummings and Walt Whitman, and a launch party for the newly revised 43rd edition of American Poet journal. In this truly impressive continuation of an intellectual tradition, Nye and Teicher will join an array of distinguished poets from across the American poetry landscape, including Mark Doty, Juan Felipe Herrera, Jane Hirshfield, and Sharon Olds, to name a few. More detailed information regarding this po-epic event is currently available online at www.poets.org/poetsforum, the website of the Academy of American Poets, including a complete schedule of events, a full list of participating poets, ticket purchasing information, and audio/video archives of past Forum events and author readings.
