Join The DC Arts Center’s Poetry Series for the first of two special summer sessions featuring a selection of regional poets chosen through a highly competitive submission and review process. We were honored to receive an extraordinary number of submissions, making this one of our most exciting and carefully curated summer programs to date.

This month, hear readings from Lenna Jawdat, Mike Reis, J.D. Smith, and Philip Wexler.

Following the readings, stay for an informal reception with drinks, conversation, and book signings, and enjoy the opportunity to meet the poets and celebrate their work.
