Welcome!

Poets Out Loud is a community of poetry at Fordham University at Lincoln Center. POL's mission is to provide opportunities for the creation, dissemination and enjoyment of poetry. The POL Reading Series presents free, year-round public readings by noted and emerging poets, serving the Fordham University community and New York City at large. The POL Book Series, run in coordination with Fordham University Press, issues two new full-length volumes of poetry annually, awarding publication and honoraria to the best manuscripts submitted in an international competition.

Free and open to the public 

All readings are at 7 PM in the 12th floor lounge in Lowenstein (113 West 60 Street, corner of Columbus Avenue) except for the special anniversary celebration on October 27, which will be at 8:30 in the Rubinstein Atrium of Lincoln Center, west 62nd street and Columbus Avenue).
