Celebrate National Poetry Month with MashReads and Strand Book Store

Founded in 1996, National Poetry Month is a monthlong celebration of — you guessed it — all things verse.

To celebrate the month, MashReads and Strand Book Store are proud to host Writing and Resistance, a night of poetry readings and conversation featuring a bevy of talented New York poets. The event is April 25 in New York City at 7:30pm ET at The Strand Bookstore in Strand’s 3rd floor Rare Book Room. (Directions here). It’s supported by The Academy of American Poets and National Poetry Month.

Throughout the night, poets will read poems and discuss themes of resistance, struggle, and the forces both internal and external that would prevent poetry.  Read more…
