A poetic bridge spans the waters between Staten Island and Hudson County in this intimate poetry event at the Hoboken Historical Museum. This gathering spotlights voices from both sides of the bay, weaving together diverse narratives and rhythms.
On April 18, 2026, six poets including William J Van Sickell, Aurelia Luciano, Gold Carson Sánchez, M. A. Dennis, Thomas Fucaloro, and Julie Bentsen will perform original works that celebrate place, identity, and transition. The event is a heartfelt poetic swan song for Buttered Roll, the organizer, as he prepares to leave Hoboken for Queens, NY.
Set in vibrant Hoboken, Hudson County, this free poetry reading honors National Poetry Month by connecting communities through lyrical storytelling and performance. It’s a unique chance to hear fresh perspectives from local poets in a historic New Jersey setting.
This poetry event highlights the creative pulse running between Staten Island and Hudson County, spotlighting regional voices often underrepresented in broader literary scenes.
