NOTE: The Poetry Festival has been CANCELED; we hope to present it in September at a date TBD. 

Poet Pamela Laskin will be the featured guest poet for the 52nd annual City College Poetry Festival held at the Marian Anderson Theater at Aaron Davis Hall. Upwards of 150 students from as many as 50 schools are expected to recite their poems at this year’s festival. The event commences with readings by elementary school students, followed by poets from junior high schools. Beginning around noon, the winners of the festival's citywide high school poetry contest will recite their poems.
