Announcing Poets in Pajamas 2023 Season!

We are so thrilled for a new season of Poets in Pajamas! After an incredible outpouring of submissions, we are excited to announce 24 incredible poets who will be sharing their work with us this year. This line-up is funded by a generous grant from the Poetry Foundation.

In order to grow and connect new audiences, we will be switching to a “Pajama Party” format this season – all readings will feature TWO poets! Readings are still Sundays at 7 PM Eastern Standard Time. Follow this blog and the PiP Facebook page for updates, bios, reminders, and links to the virtual readings!

This reading series is hosted courtesy of Sundress Publications. The land on which Sundress Publications operates is part of the traditional territory of the Tsalagi peoples (now Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians) and Tsoyaha peoples (Yuchi, Muscogee Creek).
