Why Choose the Poetry Holiday Market? With so many holiday markets popping up, why not choose the one powered by poetry? Here, you’ll find gifts that make an emotional impact, discover a sense of connection, and take part in a unique, enriching holiday experience.

Supporting Local Poets & Artists: Every purchase supports the talented poets and makers of NYC and helps fund year-end initiatives for The Poetry Society of New York, a 501(c)3 non-profit rooted in the belief that art and poetry belong to us all. At PSNY, we present poetry unconventionally—with no in-house style, transcending the everyday, and prioritizing accessibility, experimentation, and undeniable fun. Each of our events offer an invitation into a vibrant poetry world specifically designed to stimulate discovery, wonder, and life-long friendships between artists. Become a member here!

So, wrap your gifts in poetry this year and make your holiday season unforgettable. Bring your friends, family, or that special someone, and experience what holiday shopping should be—full of wonder, creativity, and joy.
