The 2006 and 11th Biennial
GERALDINE R. DODGE POETRY FESTIVAL
is  coming home to Waterloo Village, Stanhope, New Jersey.
September 28 – October  1, 2006  
To mark its 20th year the Dodge Poetry Festival, the largest poetry event in  
North America, will return in 2006 to its birthplace ― beautiful Waterloo  
Village, a National Historic Site in Stanhope, New Jersey. 
Nearly 20,000 people are expected to welcome the 11th biennial Dodge Poetry  
Festival back to Waterloo Village. The Festival will return to a completely 
new  Concert Tent, more spacious satellite performance tents, and expanded free  
parking facilities in the restored 19th-century canal-lock and riverside  
village. Join more than 60 poets ―including Ekiwah Adler-Belendez, Taha Muhammad  
Ali, Lucille Clifton, Billy Collins, Toi Derricotte, Mark Doty, Jorie Graham, 
 Linda Gregg, Tony Hoagland, Linda Hogan, Kurtis Lamkin, Andrew Motion, 
Taslima  Nasreen, Grace Paley, Linda Pastan, Gerald Stern, Sekou Sundiata, Brian 
Turner,  and Ko Un―and dozens of accomplished musicians and storytellers for 
four days of  poetry and music beside the Musconetcong River and among the Village
’s lawns,  trees, and historic buildings. 
Waterloo Village is located one mile from Exit 25 of I-80, easily reached  
from New York City and points east and Pennsylvania and points west. I-287, the  
Garden State Parkway, Pennsylvania Turnpike, New Jersey Turnpike, and other  
major highways connect with I-80, offering easy access from points north and  
south. Special round trip bus transportation from New York City will be  
available during the Festival. 
Tickets will go on sale in April 2006. Special Dodge Poetry Festival rates  
are now available and may be reserved at several nearby lodging  facilities.
