On April 17, 2013, the Academy of American Poets presented the 11th annual Poetry & the Creative Mind, at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center.
Some of America's leading artists, scholars, and public figures came together on one stage in April for an extraordinary evening celebrating the role of contemporary poetry in American culture. Poetry & the Creative Mind raises money for the programs of the Academy of American Poets, including National Poetry Month, which was established by the Academy in 1996 and is now the largest literary celebration in the world.
