World Poetry Night

The Mills International Center would like to welcome you to World Poetry Night 2024. The event aims to celebrate our diversity through poetry, as UO students, staff, faculty, and community members recite their favorite poems (in any language) with the UO community.  

World Poetry Night will be on Monday, April 22, 2023, from 5:30-7:30 pm in the Redwood Auditorium (EMU 214).

To submit the poem, please fill out this application form here. We cordially invite students, staff, faculty, and community members to participate. We kindly ask for participants and the audience to stay the whole time. Dinner will be provided.
