broadsides from the Broadside Reading Series

A broadside is a single page with text, intended for hanging on a wall. The poems below have been printed as part of our Broadside Reading Series. Click on events to see when the next reading will be. The Broadside Reading Series is supported in part with public funds from The New York State Council on the Arts.

Below you can purchase some of the limited edition broadsides we have published. In addition to owning a beautifully printed poem, you will be helping to support this outstanding program.
