NYC Poets Afloat enters its sixth season! Each year, poets are stationed aboard ships around NY Harbor to write poetry on the water during National Poetry Month. Then, in May, they converge aboard tall ship Wavertree at the South Street Seaport Museum to share all that poetry. Come join in and listen along!

Poets Afloat 2025: Jee Leong Koh, Rosebud Ben-Oni, Kyle Carrero Lopez, Africa Wayne, Joe Dahut, Cynthia Manick, Peter Milne Greiner

NYC Poets Afloat is coordinated by it founder, the poet Brad Vogel. More at @poetsafloat.
