    Welcome to the 2010 GR Dodge Poetry Festival!

    A poetry Village in the Heart of Newark’s Downtown Arts District

    To mark its 24th year, the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival –
    the largest poetry event in North America – moves to Newark,
    the largest city in New Jersey. Join dozens of nationally and
    internationally acclaimed poets in readings, discussions, and
    conversations that spotlight the many facets, faces and
    voices of poetry.

    We look forward to seeing you here on October 7-10, 2010.

    “The spectacle of crowds of people shouldering past one another in all directions, the long lines of book-buyers, the rapt attention to readers, the outbursts of applause, and even standing ovations are enough to convince you that poetry has somehow been restored to its ancient prominence and might even be a force to be reckoned with."
