The Concord Poetry Center is a non-profit organization founded by poet and critic Joan Houlihan. As one of only a handful of centers in the United States devoted solely to the craft and celebration of the poetic form [1], the Concord Poetry Center, located at the Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts, in Concord, Massachusetts, offers the Boston area community a home where the public can come to write, read, listen to, and learn about an art form that continues to engage and intrigue. Readers of poetry can use the lending library, attend lectures and public readings by some of the most renowned poets of our time, including former and current Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky and Donald Hall and Pulitzer Prize winner Franz Wright. Poets, young and emerging, as well as many who are published and teaching, find a home at the Center where they can collaborate and develop skills through craft workshops, seminars, and community readings.
