​The Poetry Place is a non-profit literary project based in a municipal community center, located in the center of Jerusalem. It serves as a venue for poetry readings by veteran and new Israeli poets and translators, and discussions about poetry, most often accompanied by musical performances. Combining the cultivation of an appreciation for poetry, support for disadvantaged sectors of society, and the fostering of culture in Jerusalem’s urban center, Poetry Place has a well-defined contemporary, literary-cultural agenda, which it promotes through participating in numerous literary and arts festivals, leading workshops for creative writing, and publishing critical essays on its website.
