Readings in Contemporary Poetry at Dia:Chelsea

At each of Dia’s Readings in Contemporary Poetry, two poets from different generations present original works or works in process. The series creates a forum for a range of new experiences and voices while exhibiting some of the patterns, lineages, and divergences present in contemporary poetry.

Readings take place at Dia:Chelsea, 535 West 22nd Street, 5th Floor, in New York City. The program is organized by poet and author Vincent Katz and Dia curator Yasmil Raymond. Books by the poets will be sold at the event (cash only).
