About NPP
We have goals:
- to embrace Philadelphia’s growing literary scene and create new spaces for poetry.
- to encourage each other to continue to make quality poetry through weekly meetings, critique, poetic discussion and community.
- to perpetuate each other’s art through the vehicles of publishing journals, zines, chapbooks, and also by hosting readings and participating in readings hosted by others.
- to encourage collaboration and conversation not only with other poets, but with artists of diverse media.
- to promote Philadelphia as a hotspot for the literary arts.
- to keep poetry in Philadelphia new and vibrant.
We certainly don’t represent all the poets in Philadelphia. Explore our links. And our links’ links. You’ll see.
If you are looking for information about the Philadelphia Poets journal, please visit their site for more information about the journal and editor/poet/painter Rosemary Cappello. We are not affiliated with the journal, but pay it respect.
