Nebraska has talented poets and we want to highlight them.
The first Tuesday of every month, we feature a different Nebraska poet to read their work and discuss their literary journey
All of our events are virtual to provide a safe environment for people to join from anywhere in the world.
Anyone can attend the reading series, free.
If you are a published poet, from Nebraska, or currently living in Nebraska, we would like to feature you also. Your work does not need to be recently published, nor traditionally published. Please contact us so we can add you to our schedule.
We are reaching out to high school teachers across the state to expose youth to poetry and coach them on performance poetry. We will be hosting Poetry Slam's for youth and adults across the state.
