Join award-winning poet and New Yorker poetry editor Kevin Young, National Book Award winner Terrance Hayes, New York Times bestseller Mary Karr, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and poet Eliza Griswold, acclaimed poet Richie Hofmann, poet and essayist Diane Mehta, National Book Critics Circle Award winner Mary Jo Bang, and National Jewish Book Award winner Edward Hirsch for a reading honoring a century of poetry in The New Yorker — and the release of a monumental new anthology, edited by Young — featuring some of the most iconic poetic voices in America.
From Dorothy Parker to Derek Walcott, Sylvia Plath to Sandra Cisneros, John Ashbery to Amanda Gorman, The New Yorker is both a gateway into and a treasure trove of English-language poetry. A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker: 1925-2025 gathers one hundred years of the most influential, entertaining, and taste-making verse ever published in the magazine, including by many poets who have graced the stage of 92NY — Seamus Heaney, Louise Glück, Langston Hughes, Tracy K. Smith, Mark Strand, Terrance Hayes, Billy Collins, Ada Limón and dozens of others.
In a special celebratory reading, hear Young and a group of some of today’s premier poets reading from the anthology, both classic selections and their own work — a tribute to the stunning poetic range of the magazine’s history and the resounding power of poetry itself.
