2025 Sarah Lawrence College Poetry Festival

The Sarah Lawrence College Poetry Festival takes place in April each year and is the largest, open, student-run poetry festival in New York. Since 2003, we have been dedicated to the celebration of contemporary poetry and the creation of community around the art form. Previously, we have welcomed poets such as Tracy K. Smith, Anne Carson, Nicole Sealy, Jos Charles, Eduardo C. Corral, and many others.
Free and open to the public, this year our festival will happen April 25th - 27th, here on our beautiful campus in Bronxville, NY! We are proud to feature readings, craft talks, panels, and generative sessions, as well as group meals and receptions. Our lineup of guest and faculty poets and the full schedule of events will be announced soon. Books will be sold through a local bookstore.
