Binghamton Poetry Project
The Binghamton Poetry Project is a literary service program of the Binghamton Center for Writers at Binghamton University. Founded by Nicole Santalucia in 2012, the project supports and coaches youth and adults in reading and writing creatively in workshops that are free and open to the public. Our mission is to increase literary engagement and to strengthen the Broome County poetry community, while connecting the university and its students with county residents. We also provide leadership positions for Creative Writing Ph.D. students and advance the efforts of the Binghamton Center for Writers.
