Welcome  to The Poetry Institute where OUR FOCUS is creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for YOUR ENJOYMENT of poetry.

Announcements:  The poetry series you know and love called Word of Mouth is now called, The Poetry Institute – New Haven.

During a brief transition period, both the Word of Mouth and Poetry Institute names and email addresses will be used. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may cause.

We have a new website! While we appreciate the great work the many website managers in the area do to get the word out about local readings, it became increasingly obvious that we needed to have our own website.  Yeah we know. We can hear some of you saying, “So what took you so long!?”   While  the  list of reasons is obvious, the most pressing of course is  cancellations due to inclement weather.  Please bookmark: www. thepoetryinstitute.com

Our Open Mic location and schedule remain the same!

On the Third Thursday of the every month, join us for poetry at The Institute Library in New Haven. Doors open at 6:30 pm

The full 2010 schedule is coming soon!
