Paul Simon, Amy Ryan, Bill T. Jones, Matthew Weiner and more celebrate National Poetry Month at Lincoln Center on April 27

The reading, titled “Poetry & the Creative Mind,” is organized by the Academy of American Poets. The annual event promotes the importance of our country’s rich poetic legacy and also raises critical funds for the nonprofit organization’s education programs, which include free lesson plans and resources for teachers on Poets.org, the world’s largest publicly-funded website for poets and poetry, and a special writing project for thousands of students.

“Poetry & the Creative Mind” begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets range from $35-75 and are available through the Lincoln Center box office: http://www.lincolncenter.org/show/14th-annual-poetry-the-creative-mind
