Spoken Word New York is your one-stop destination for information on some of the best and HOTTEST Poets and Spoken Word Artists in the New York metropolitan area — and where you can see them performing live. As a dedicated online hub for NYC’s vibrant spoken word community, this platform connects poetry lovers around the corner, across the country, or around the world directly to the poets, poetry events, open mics, spoken word showcases, and creative spaces that keep the culture alive.

We help you discover who’s hot and who’s next in New York Performance Arts. We highlight up-and-coming voices as well as established, well-known poets shaping the scene. You’ll get a first-hand glimpse into the creative minds of some of your favorite poets — learn what motivates them, explore their journeys, and see how they make their poetic magic.

Spoken Word New York also serves as a community guide — helping artists and audiences alike find where poetry is happening across the city. Whether you're searching for the next big showcase, a grassroots open mic, or an intimate poetry lounge experience, this platform keeps you informed and inspired.

Visit this site often to check out Poetry Author Spotlights, poetry books, and get the latest information on where artists will be performing and appearing next. And find out where YOU can hit up an Open Mic Night to share your own poetry.
