Poetry may not be as “mainstream” as it was when Shakespeare was around but its community of followers and creators is very much alive and well. If you’re a fan of poetry one of the best festivals in New York City in July is the New York City Poetry Festival.
The event takes place over two days on Governors Island and will feature some of the best poets in the country. The event is free but you must RSVP online. You also have the ability to purchase drinks ahead of time or sign up as a member of the Poetry Society of New York.
