Sacramento Poetry Center

Comment on Facebook

Since 1979, the Sacramento Poetry Center (SPC) has been a major force for literary artists in Northern California. Though primarily serving as the literary center for the greater Sacramento metropolitan area, SPC's publications are recognized nationally for their quality and literary content and its annual writers' conference has featured some of the most important poets of our time, including Pulitzer Prize winners.

Unique among literary centers in that it is not affiliated with a university, the Sacramento Poetry Center, while maintaining close ties with the area's universities and colleges, affords associated artists the opportunity to explore the medium unrestricted, empowering literary artists to improve their work and performance.

The Sacramento Poetry Center is located within the R25 Arts Complex.
