ORP Reads — A Gathering of Poets (Save the date!)

Online through Google Meets

Sunday, July 12, 8pm EDT

$ — Sliding Scale Suggested Donation

Writing is often a solitary practice where we spend long stretches of time traveling alone on our unique creative paths. Yet, poetry began as a way of sharing our hopes, despairs, and insights with each other. As the world’s oldest form of literature, poetry first emerged as oral storytelling, long before the written page ever came into existence.

In honor of this ancient tradition, Oyster River Pages will bring together editors and contributors for an evening of live poetry readings. Poets from our most recent annual issues will read their poetry, creating space for connection and conversation, nurturing our collective human experience in this increasingly digital modern world.

Registration will open in May.

Please check back for updates.


Believing that the best learning happens when all voices at the table feel empowered, Oyster River Pages seeks to create diverse, accessible, and affirming learning experiences. Some scholarship opportunities are available. See course descriptions for details.
