Mission of the Center

The Concord Poetry Center (CPC) seeks to provide activities and services for poets, poetry-lovers, students of poetry and teachers throughout metro-west Boston. Located in the Emerson Umbrella for the Arts Building in the heart of Concord, CPC serves as a community for poets and poetry-lovers as well as a place for poetry courses, workshops, seminars, publication consultations, readings, and performances. CPC serves the many unaffiliated poets in the Greater Boston area who wish to improve their writing skills as well as those who simply want to hear and enjoy poetry with others.

Facilities

As a resident program within Emerson Umbrella for the Arts, CPC has access to the use of auditoriums and a number of large and small rooms. The Center is easily accessible by commuter rail and car for the many individuals and families who come to Concord for its exceptional historic and artistic attractions.
