Brooklyn Poets is a nonprofit organization focused on cultivating poetry and the literary life of Brooklyn, operating within the writing and editing sector. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the group offers small, intensive poetry workshops led by award-winning poets in private homes, a model that supports hands-on learning and intimate peer-to-peer feedback for poets of varying levels. Since its founding in 2012, the organization has served more than a thousand students and employed dozens of teachers, while also hosting regular events that attract a broad, engaged audience and foster a locally rooted poetry community. In addition to its core workshops, Brooklyn Poets initiated the Bridge, a network designed to connect poets with mentors, and published the Brooklyn Poets Anthology, the first comprehensive collection highlighting contemporary poetry from Brooklyn. A recent development noted in the press is the opening of a new performance space at 144 Montague Street, signaling an expansion of its physical footprint in the city. Brooklyn Poets positions itself within the nonprofit literary ecosystem, distinct from traditional graduate programs, by emphasizing a homegrown, diverse decentralized model for poets and readers alike.
