NEWARK — The country’s largest celebration of poetry comes out of the west Jersey woods at Waterloo Village and onto the gritty streets of Newark this week, bringing more than 50 poets and musicians for four days of readings, conversations and performances.

The 13th biennial Dodge Poetry Festival kicks off tomorrow night on the main stage at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. It will continue — often at 10 venues simultaneously — until Sunday afternoon, when four U.S. poets laureate share the stage for a final reading, a celebration of renowned poet Lucille Clifton, who dies in February after being a fixture at previous festivals.
