Now in its 41st season, the Poetry Project offers a Wednesday night reading series, a Monday night reading series, a Friday late-night series, four weekly writing workshops, a quarterly newsletter, a website (at www.poetryproject.com), and extensive audio and document archives. Housed in the historic St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, the grounds are the site of historic memorials to poets Paul Blackburn, Robert Duncan, Charles Reznikoff, Frank O'Hara, Ted Berrigan, Edwin Denby and others. Staffed completely by poets, the Poetry Project consistently achieves an integrity of programming that challenges, informs and inspires working writers, while remaining accessible to the general public. Past directors have included Joel Oppenheimer, Anne Waldman, Bernadette Mayer, Ron Padgett, Eileen Myles, Ed Friedman and Anselm Berrigan. The current director is Stacy Szymaszek.
