Cambridge Center for Adult Education

Founded in 1973, and directed by poet Andrea Cohen, the award-winning Blacksmith House Poetry Series brings established and emerging writers of poetry and fiction to Harvard Square. The series is sponsored by the Cambridge Center for Adult Education and holds readings at the Blacksmith House, site of the village smithy and spreading chestnut tree of Longfellow’s 1839 poem “The Village Blacksmith.”

All readings take place in person at 56 Brattle Street on Mondays at 8pm. Admission is $3 online or upon entry. Even if the readings are sold out, there will be a few tickets still available for sale at the door.
