Welcome
Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center is dedicated to promoting poetry throughout Stanislaus County and to promoting Stanislaus County through poetry. Since our inception in January of 2013, we have become an important part of the regional arts scene, facilitating two reading series — one monthly and quarterly, the summer poetry workshop series, a yearly poetry festival, a quarterly poetry book club, and a monthly meet about the poetry we’re reading. We also host the annual Poetry Out Loud recitation contest for high school students, publish the work of local poets, lead the Stanislaus County Youth Poet Laureate program, and run readings and workshops throughout the community. We partner with many other community organizations including the Carnegie Arts Center, the Stanislaus County Library, the NAACP, and the Stanislaus Arts Council to promote poetry wherever we can.
