Founded in the 1980s, Poets Live is the oldest running anglophone poetry reading series in Paris, France. We offer an eclectic range of poetry, all styles and tastes, instream and outstream, on the page and off the page. We want poets visiting Paris to read, we want poets living in Paris to read. Our goal is to explore the vast spectrum of contemporary poetry.

If you’d like to know what’s happening in the anglophone poetry and prose communities in Paris, the Paris Lit Up events calendar is a good place to start. You can find more information about us on facebook and twitter or you can email us.
