Frequently Asked Questions
How We Choose Poets
New poets will be requested to give a reading. The screening is for evaluation of experience, content of poems, submitting samples of poetry, and the ability to ask questions. Those who get the response that they will be considered for upcoming openings will receive invitations to one or more dates in the coming months.
We aim for a diverse performance base as part of our mission to create space where individuals and groups engage each other to achieve a more just world. In that light, responses to the demographical questions are appreciated though not required.
