About this Event
Join NYC Poets Afloat for our fifth annual group poetry reading aboard the tall ship Wavertree at the South Street Seaport Museum! 5.19.24, 2-4 pm.
Nine poets are spending time in micro-residencies aboard ships in New York Harbor, musing and writing poetry while afloat. Now, they come together to share their poetry in a group reading on deck! Poets include: Jared Beloff, Jenna Cardinale, Carla M. Cherry, danilo machado, DL Newton, Malvika Jolly, J. Freeborn, Mark Wunderlich, and Steven Alvarez.
