Hello and welcome to NYU Shanghai’s Virtual Poetry Post! Intended for the reading pleasure of the entire NYU Shanghai community with the goal of providing a common cultural experience for everyone on campus, the Virtual Poetry Post features poetry written by current NYU Shanghai students, faculty and staff (which will also be displayed on posters around campus). Click here to view past poems we’ve featured!

To submit a poem, please send your submission as a Word attachment to clg4@nyu.edu with the subject header “NYU Shanghai Virtual Poetry Post” and include the following information in the body of your e-mail: your name, identity within the community (e.g. “Class of 2024,” “Catering Services,” “Dept. of Mathematics”) and, if applicable, any relevant copyright information. Please note that any submitted poems (or excerpts of ones) should be brief enough to fit single-spaced on one (1) page in Microsoft Word.
