Poetry Live!

The Studio

Poetry Live! is an evening dedicated to the electrifying power of spoken word poetry. Following the massive success of previous years’ events, and to which Cate Burtner for the Stanford Daily, wrote, “For students and educators alike, Poetry Live! took the written word out of an academic setting and directly into our imaginations.,” we are happy to announce the 4th annual Poetry Live! curated by the Creative Writing Program’s Hieu Minh Nguyen and featuring guest artists and members of Stanford's Spoken Word Collective.
