Poets Afloat

Poets Afloat

Past Program: May 15, 2022 | 2pm ET | In-Person | Free

Join NYC Poets Afloat for their third annual group poetry reading aboard our tall ship Wavertree on Sunday, May 15, 2022 at 2pm. Nine poets have spent time in micro-residencies aboard ships in New York Harbor, musing and writing poetry while afloat. Now, they come together to share their poetry in a group reading on the deck of Wavertree.

The event is FREE, and advance registration is required.

Poets include: Joseph Legaspi, Bonnie Jill Emanuel, Bill Livingston, Spurgeon Smith, Maya Mahmud, Laura Salvatore, Kyle Studstill, Brad Vogel, and Matt Turner. In addition to the Seaport Museum, donations with registration will go to support the hosting vessels/organizations around the harbor: Waterfront Barge Museum, Tideland Institute, Lilac Preservation Project, PortSide New York, and the Nellie Bly.
