An historic presentation of a beloved, iconic, and enduring annual event, The Poetry Project’s 2021 New Year’s Day Marathon will be a 24-hour continuous, online broadcast featuring readings and performances from a global cast of more than 200 poets, writers, artists, musicians, dancers, and theatre-makers – devotees of the avant-garde and demimonde, proud visionaries and iconoclasts working at the edge across language, time, and place.
Raucous, tender, expansive, and always more than a little unpredictable, The New Year’s Day Marathon celebrates the persistent magic of poets and their co-conspirators. This year’s gathering combines poetry readings with hypnosis, DJ sets and music videos, ritual offerings, celebrations of place and history, cooking segments, short films, archival media, and more. And we kick things off in an 11pm to midnight countdown with a broadcast of live performances and a special feature from the clocktower of St. Mark’s.
Join us as we cast the doors open of our digital congregation to the reprobates and rebels, the dreamers, and wild prophets whose poems and art call us to the essential work of change in the year ahead. It’s a windswept, proudly DIY affair affirming this central recognition – that even across great distance and uncertainty, poetry continues to excite, dazzle, devastate, nourish, connect, and inspire us.
The 47th Annual New Year’s Day Marathon will begin at 11PM EST on December 31st at poetryproject.org/marathon and will be simultaneously multi-streamed to The Poetry Project's Facebook Live and YouTube live accounts. An hour by hour schedule of the broadcast is forthcoming.
The New Year's Day Marathon has historically been The Poetry Project's most important fundraiser of the year. While this year's presentation is free to access, if you feel compelled to support our vision of more collective, care-based, and equitable cultural community, you can make a contribution here.

The Council of Literary Magazines & Presses Announces the Literary Arts Emergency Fund!

The Brooklyn Arts Council has compiled resources, too
In line with New York City’s efforts to ‘flatten the incubation curve’ of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), Brooklyn Arts Council has temporarily closed our DUMBO offices to the public and is taking full advantage of our existing remote work policies. We are postponing any trainings, workshops, and creative gatherings, effective March 16 through April 20, or as deemed vital by municipal leadership.
While we are not together in person, Brooklyn Arts Council staff is here to serve you. We have compiled a list of resources and developed a survey to assess artists’ needs.
Over the past week, we’ve heard from Brooklyn artists who are increasingly concerned about the impact the ongoing pandemic will have on their creative practices and their families of birth and choice.
The team at Brooklyn Arts Council put our heads together to create a digital booklet of resources on healthcare, newly available funding, organizing tips, and entertainment resources — all with our borough’s artists in mind.
View the Resource Guide (Click on Resource Guide)
Let us know. In addition to our Resource Guide, we’ve created a COVID-19 Impact Survey to take inventory of Brooklyn artists’ most pressing needs and concern. We understand that many aspects of work and life are shifting right now. Any answers you can give at this time will inform our future approach to ensuring Brooklyn artists have what they need to thrive.

You can find Paul van Linden Tol on Facebook. He also likes to tinker with carpentry projects, and built his own small wooden boat a few years ago. I made a short movie about the Voyage of the Book Turtle a few years ago; our son Max also appeared in it. The wooden boat has been repurposed as a pair of bookshelves in his apartment. If you want to see the movie, here's the link: Voyage of the Book Turtle, 2nd draft, a mini-documentary about a man and his wooden boat, on Youtube: https://youtu.be/-8AEbvYYj6o

A Message to Our Community
Poets House joins with all people of conscience to express outrage and pain as crisis grips our nation. George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, murdered, are just the most recent victims of systematic racism in our nation. Simultaneously this week, we acknowledge the dreadful threshold of 100,000 deaths from Covid-19 which, because of systemic inequity, inordinately impacts communities of color.
Over and over again racism expresses itself in lethal violence. Over and over again the survivors are told to wait for justice. Now is the time for all voices to be raised to demand our justice system be remade to be just.
What can poetry do in the face of these calamities—calamities not equally shared among us? Poets House acts on the belief that poetry bears witness, incites a language of mutuality and care, and by so doing insists on individual and collective action to bring about change. Poetry helps us find ways to stand in solidarity against brutality.
As the great Caribbean poet Édouard Glissant wrote, We cry our cry of poetry. Our boats are open and we sail them for everyone.
With love and solidarity,
Nicholas Potter, President
Linda Earle, Vice President
Lee Briccetti, Executive Director
