"The 2026 lineup will feature events pairing poets with musicians and other performing artists, as well as writing sessions with festival poets, a free outdoor celebration for families, and professional development opportunities for working writers."
"This festival, which has been showcasing powerful poetry since 1986, offers the best of both worlds: Poets laureate and Pulitzer Prize winners for the poetry aficionados, along with Family Fun Day and Young Artist Day for those who are dipping their toes into hearing poetry."
The Dodge Poetry Festival will take place in Newark from October 15 to 17, showcasing poetry as a performing art and a tool for social justice. The event will include performances by notable poets, musicians, and writing workshops. Featured artists include Patti Smith, Arthur Sze, Elizabeth Acevedo, and Tyehimbe Jess. The festival will also host a reunion of poets from Def Poetry Jam and collaborate with organizations like Cave Canem, Kundiman, and CantoMundo, offering activities for families and young artists.
