Join the NPS 2015 Award Winning Poets for a Reading Posted in: News, Poets, Events

Join us for a short reading and celebration of the 2015 National Poetry Series Winners: Justin Boening, Jennifer Kronovet, Melissa Range, Danniel Schoonebeek, and Joshua Bennett.

The Potter’s House is a nonprofit café, bookstore, and community space in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of DC. Their bookstore specializes in social movements, cultural studies, and spiritual traditions as well as a curated selection of fiction, poetry, and children’s books centered on multicultural voices. “In our rapidly-changing city—one in which development so often means displacement—The Potter’s House is a deeply-rooted space where we can build relationships across our differences, envision just alternatives, and grow the movements that will make them possible.”

Where better to gather at AWP 2017 to celebrate the National Poetry Series?
