In-Person and Virtual Poetry Workshops at The Poetry Center

The Poetry Center at PCCC in Paterson, NJ offers poetry writing workshops in conjunction with the Distinguished Poets Reading Series.

There is limited enrollment and workshops generally fill up, so register early. A $20 fee which is paid to the poet is required with your registration.

These poets will give a poetry reading following their workshop. The readings are always free and open to the public.

Readings are recorded and later archived for viewing on the Poetry Center’s YouTube channel.

Bios of all the poets are available on our readings page.
