At the Dodge Poetry Festival

Hurricane Sandy Poetry Initiative

In the 2012-2013 school year, the Dodge Poetry in the Schools Program is directing a portion of its resources to bringing poetry to those who face the most challenging circumstances in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. 

Our priority is to bring poetry to the high school communities who are most in need of the healing power of poetry.
