About this event
The Jersey City Poetry Festival (JCPOFEST) is an interdisciplinary, intergenerational event taking place September 25–27 under this year’s theme “Viva! Joy as Resistance.” This multi-venue celebration fuses poetry with music, dance, visual art, storytelling, and film—bringing generations, disciplines, and communities together to imagine, question, connect, and experience the radical possibility of collective JOY. Showcasing an extraordinary constellation of emerging and critically acclaimed voices, the festival features 5th U.S. Presidential Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco, the Grammy-performing Resistance Revival Chorus, and a panel with poets from Cave Canem (represented by Pulitzer Prize finalist Evie Shockley), Kundiman, and CantoMundo.
