Woodland Pattern Poetry Marathon 2023
By Woodland Pattern
Welcome to the 29th Annual Woodland Pattern Poetry Marathon! This 24-hour event will be hosted on Saturday, January 28 from 10 am–10 pm and Sunday, January 29 from 10 am–10 pm, with half-hour intermissions at 4 pm on both days. For a full schedule of readers in each hour, please check our website.
In addition to being an incredible event and a Woodland Pattern tradition, the Poetry Marathon serves as a community-driven fundraiser. We express our overwhelming gratitude to every reader who raised pledges, to every community member who sponsored a poet, and to our generous sponsors who matched reader pledges for every hour. While this year's event is being presented free to the public, this is Woodland Pattern's major fundraiser for the year, and a ticket donation of any amount from audience members who are in a position to give will be greatly appreciated.
We are extraordinarily grateful to our sponsors. Woodland Pattern’s 29th Annual Poetry Marathon is presented by Wisconsin's Own Library, a unique collection of Wisconsin authors and illustrators owned by the General Federation of Women's Clubs–Wisconsin, with funding provided by the Gwendolyn M. Schultz Charitable Trust. Our premier (canto) level sponsor this year is DeWitt LLP; and supporting (sonnet) level sponsors include Next Act Theater, Juneau Park Friends, and Anne Kingsbury & Karl Gartung. A full list of event sponsors can be found on our website below the Marathon schedule.
