Dear Marathoners:

Less than a week away from the 2026 Boston Poetry Marathon on August eighth and August ninth, and we have great news.

We are happy to report that all our patience has been rewarded and the Boston Poetry Marathon schedule is finally up.

You can view it by clicking here or clicking the link below.

If you're only seeing this message now and don't see your name, look for the slots labeled "Emily Dickinson" and we will do our best to give you one of her slots on the schedule.

Don't forget that as last year, the Marathon is being held at the Community Church of Boston at 565 Boylston Sttreet in Copley Square Boston.

Please consider donating to our GoFundMe page as we get closer to next weekend.

If you're interested in volunteering your time beyond your seven minute reading slot, please let us know.

Thank you all for your patience and your support.

Thanks for your patience as we work on the schedule. It's not too late to cancel your vacation to some idyllic utopian tropical isle and join us in Boston (sigh). Looking forward to seeing you all!
