Attendees share an original poem-in-progress and receive positive feedback and craft suggestions from fellow participants.

This poetry reading series provides a unique opportunity to hear diverse and unusual sets of readers, in this case pairing long-time friends who rarely have the opportunity to appear together.

Over its 40+ years, Marin Poetry Center has supported the longevity of local bookstores, art centers, and literary organizations through event partnerships and collaborations. This past year, MPC began a commitment to support the independent endeavors of poets and artists through fiscal sponsorships, where their projects could operate under the umbrella of a non-profit organization.

The Marin Poetry Center board is taking some time to reflect on our programs and activities and plan for the coming year. 

This summer, MPC members will perform their own work in venues all over the Bay Area.

As a result of our fall survey and following recent discussions with our members, we have created a Writers Group Clearing House/Bulletin Board where you can contact other interested writers and organize your own writer’s group.
