The Green Way Reading Series is a monthly literary event based in Takoma Park, MD curated by Simon Shieh and Takoma Park’s Poet Laureate Taylor Johnson. The series centers emerging and established poets and artists in interdisciplinary, intergenerational and cross-regional dialogues. We want these programs to encourage growing participation and local engagement in the evolving landscape of contemporary poetry.

The Green Way Reading series is co-sponsored by the City of Takoma Park’s Takoma Park Arts cultural events series.

This is an in-person event. Seated capacity at People’s Book is 50 patrons. Standing room is an option. All events are first-come, first-served seating. Accessible seating is always available.
