    Many Pittsburghers are surprised to learn that some of the 20th century’s greatest poets described Pittsburgh as the poetry capital of the United States. Part of this reputation traces to the city’s International Poetry Forum, a nonprofit organization that has hosted poetry readings and education programs by figures such as Seamus Heaney, Gwendolyn Brooks, Grace Kelly, and James Earl Jones. This seminar offers a glimpse of Pittsburgh’s world-class literary heritage and opens discussion about the future of Pittsburgh poetry.
