AWP | Page Meets Stage
Page Meets Stage, an 18-year-old poetry series with a long-time association with AWP, has been called “where the Pulitzer Prize meets the poetry slam," and was founded at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City. Different poets—some who write primarily for the page and others who are more performance-oriented—take the stage one after another and answer poem for poem. Poems are read "popcorn style," with no set order and sometimes no set list in an ongoing poetic conversation. It’s not a poetry slam or a competition in any way but an ongoing conversation about where poetry thrives and if it is the job of the poet to make sure words go in one ear and stay there. Hosted by series founder Taylor Mali.
