Welcome to Adelphi’s Virtual Poetry Day!

Welcome to Adelphi’s Virtual Poetry Day!

Take your time to explore the website and ignite your poetic inspiration while delving into workshops provided by Adelphi University faculty. Our esteemed faculty and professional poets/workshop leaders are eager to virtually meet you and listen as you perform in the open-mic poetry slam. Don’t forget to join us for our keynote speaker Melissa Lozada-Oliva, live Q&A, and poetry contest winners presentation. To conclude this epic and informative day, feel free to participate in our virtual student-guided campus tour of our university. We hope you enjoy all that we have to offer, and we can’t wait to hear your poetry!

Workshops are not preassigned. Please choose your preferred first and second session workshops during the allotted time frames. The workshop options will be the same for each time slot. Each workshop has a waiting room and an individual capacity, therefore, if you are waiting for more than two minutes to enter a room, it has most likely reached capacity. Please switch to a different workshop.
