In celebration of National Poetry Month, the PSA presents Poetry in Motion: The Poet Is In in partnership with the MTA Arts & Design. The program was inspired by New York State Poet Laureate Marie Howe, Arts for Transit's de facto Poet in Residence, who is dedicated to bringing poetry to everyone in the metropolitan area.
Free and open to the public, the celebration takes place in the new Fulton Street Station from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., featuring an array of award-winning poets, including NY State Poet Laureate Marie Howe, Pulitzer Prize-winner Sharon Olds, and Bob Holman, founder of the Bowery Poetry Café, will sit in a booth (inspired by Lucy's booth from the Peanuts comic strip) and write poems for those who request one; and Music Under New York, a variety of musicians from the MUNY program, will perform throughout the day to accompany the poetry feature
