Building on the legacy of earlier programs like the In Your Ear Series, this new initiative continues DCAC’s decades-long commitment to the literary arts by providing a platform for rigorous, boundary-pushing work. More than a reading series, it’s a space for ideas—for language that challenges, interrogates, and connects. In an era where poetry often lives in isolation, this series brings it back into dialogue and shared community.The series is held monthly in DCAC’s black box theater, typically on a Sunday. Each hour-long event features two to three creative presentations and one critical/analytical presentation (philosophy, scholarship, history, or criticism). These readings and reflections bridge creative and critical practice and are followed by a happy hour at Roofers Union. Whether you're a longtime reader, creator, or simply poetry-curious, The DC Arts Center’s Poetry Series offers a thoughtful, welcoming entry point into the ongoing work of thinking through language together.Find out more at https://www.dcartscenter.org/poetryAgenda🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:00 PMProgram: Analytical Presentation & Poetic Readings🕑: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PMReception: Drinks with the Poets at Roofer's UnionInfo: After the readings, join us at Roofer's Union for an informal reception with drinks, conversation, and book signings, and enjoy the chance to meet the poets.
