#HudsonCounty shows up for poetry & art! And we see their BEAUTIFUL COLORS -HERE’s a few snapshots! 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣⚫️⚪️
We’re proud to highlight the powerful local groups representing our community at the Jersey City Poetry Festival — a celebration of words, identity, and resilience.
From writing collectives to seasoned spoken word veterans, these organizations reflect the vibrant cultural tapestry of one of the most diverse areas in the country.
Community support isn’t just important — it’s essential. It amplifies voices that have too often gone unheard and reminds us that poetry lives in every story, every language, every ward, and every neighborhood.
