"An invitation to read at the 92nd Street Y is better than a tap on the shoulder from the Queen at Buckingham."
—Frank McCourt

"The spirit you create at those evenings at the Y is itself civilization—there is such intelligent kindness in it, a discerning good will."
—Shirley Hazzard

"Enlivening atmosphere, exalted history, congenial setting, spirited and acute audiences... I love reading at the Poetry Center. What writer wouldn't?"
—Norman Rush

Since 1939, the Unterberg Poetry Center has given discerning audiences a chance to hear the finest writers in every literary genre, and its unrivaled dedication to the writer's voice in all of its aspects has made it America's foremost literary forum. Our Reading Series is carefully planned to present a wide yet balanced range of events—a comprehensive menu of treats for the lively mind.
