  • About Us

    Mission & Programs

    The Chicago Poetry Center’s mission is to connect people and poetry, equitably engage poets with communities, and foster creative literacy in the city and beyond. We do this work through poetry education programming across Chicago, public poetry events, Critical Conversations @ Work, and special projects and online resources. Our education programs are our widest reach, employing Chicago poets at teaching artists and serving thousands of students, mostly CPS students, annually.

    You can learn more about our work or find an upcoming live program to attend at poetrycenter.org.
