Welcome to the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation's YouTube channel where you can see video highlights from past Dodge Foundation Poetry Festivals, some of which have been featured on PBS. Over the years a remarkable group of poets from around the world has read to enthusiastic audiences and discussed a broad range of topics related to poetry. These topics have included: the life of the artist, the nature of the art, and poetry's relation to many other aspects of life ― from politics, class, and race to spirituality and the environment.

Beginning in 1986 multi-day Dodge Poetry Festivals have been held every other year, usually in the highlands of New Jersey, and they have always attracted a diverse audience of poetry lovers. Recent Festivals have drawn audiences numbering between fifteen and twenty thousand people. Now you can be there with us. Enjoy!
