Prideful Poetry is an intimate, high-energy hour centering LGBTQ voices through the power of poetry and spoken word. This curated evening invites poets and community members to gather, connect, step up to the mic and share their work with an enthusiastic audience.

The line-up is curated by Queens World Film Festival Executive Director Katha Cato who, along with Flushing Town Hall invites you to this special event where every poem is an offering, and every listener is part of the exchange. This event marks Queens World’s expanding commitment to storytelling beyond the screen, while celebrating voice, presence, and participation.

Rooted in visibility, expression, and belonging, Prideful Poetry is a welcoming space where one can hear and be heard. Join us as we gather around our poets and perhaps see ourselves through the stories of others.

MC and Poet Line-up Coming Soon!
We will see you in Queens!
