WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF 

THE SACRAMENTO POETRY CENTER

​

 

And welcome to National Poetry Month which begins on

April 1! We're kicking off the month in a big way on that

day with a special event featuring the newly appointed 

California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick, as well as Stockton's

Poet Laureate Tama Brisbane, and Sacramento's Poet

Laureate Andru Defeye, who organized this event.

​

​

 

It will be held from 2-5 p.m. at the Poetry Center

(either in the courtyard or in the Cal Stage Theater if the

weather isn't cooperating). These three poets will be joined

by many others during the program, including many young

poets, and will highlight new beginnings in multiple ways,

including a renewed energy and new commitments at the

Poetry Center. 

​

Please join us! 

​

The forthcoming April issue of POET NEWS will feature

more details about the day.
