Since its inauguration in New York City, Poetry in Motion—which places poems by classic and contemporary poets from a wide range of cultural and aesthetic backgrounds on posters in buses, railways, and subways—has appeared in over 25 cities across the country. Tonight, at the New York Transit Museum, join Edward Field, Marie Ponsot, and Hal Sirowitz as they celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Poetry Society's signature program with a series of readings paying homage to writers included in the past.

Tonight's reading is the seventh in this series; part of several taking place across the country. There will be nine more in New York City alone over the next three months.

The next New York event, which is a Lincoln Kirstein Centennial Reading, will be taking place Friday, October 12, at 7 pm at The Graduate Center in The City University of New York. It will be an evening of Kirstein's own work as well as the poetry he championed. The reading will be featuring Martin Duberman, author of "The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein," Lorrie Goldensohn, editor of "American War Poetry: An Anthology," Nicholas Jenkins, editor of "By With To & From: A Lincoln Kirstein Reader," and Edward Mendelson, editor of "The Collected Poems of W. H. Auden."
