新闻、事件 & 社区

Making poetry accessible to a wide audience has always been a part of The Boutelle-Day Poetry Center’s mission. In addition to special initiatives and facilitating poetry-related collaborations on campus, we regularly offer blocks of reserve seats at our readings to local schools and community groups. We donate a book by each visiting poet to the 北安普顿 High School library, and we offer Smith students assistance with their annual poetry slam. We have collaborated on programming with The Emily Dickinson Museum, 北安普顿 Arts Council, Sustainable Step New England and others.

Interview With Director Matt Donovan

If it’s been a while since you’ve come by The Poetry Center to see what we’ve been up to, here is a fantastic 面试 with our director Matt Donovan in the Smith Alumnae Quarterly.

如果可能的话, links to recordings of the current season’s readings will be posted soon after each event.

The Poetry Center has hosted hundreds of poets, including more than a dozen Pulitzer Prize winners and five 诗人 Laureate, as well as poets who are relatively unknown and whose work has been translated from other languages. We have recorded most readings, and they are available from the Neilson Library (on VHS up to 2006, and on DVD from 2006 onward).

Audio

In 2009, 当地的作家, teacher and 面试er Christian McEwen proposed that the Poetry Center partner with her in creating “Sparks from the Anvil,” a five-year project aimed at building an audio archive of 面试s with poets. Select visiting poet 面试s are available and offer lively conversations concerning the poets’ biographies, 写作实践, influences and developments in their work, and their sense of the contemporary poetry scene.
