Binghamton University is excited to announce that they'll be hosting Crossroads: The Fourth Annual Binghamton International Poetry Festival from 3-7pm on Saturday, September 12th.

This event will be held at the Binghamton University Downtown Center at 67 Washington Street in downtown Binghamton and is both free and open to the public.

The poetry festival will feature workshops and presentations from writers and poets from the United States and all over the world. There will also be six to eight poets, representing various local groups and workshops, reading their poems before a two-judge panel, which will award prizes for the “best” work.

This festival is sponsored by the Harpur College Dean’s Office and the Department of Romance Languages with funding provided, in part, by the Broome County Arts Council Grant, Office of the Vice President for Research at Binghamton University and the Binghamton Poetry Project.
