The West Chester University Poetry Conference is an international poetry conference that has been held annually since 1995 at West Chester University, Pennsylvania, United States. It hosts various panel discussions and poetry craft workshops, which focus primarily on formal poetry, narrative poetry, New Formalism[1] and Expansive Poetry. It is the largest poetry-only conference in America[2] and possibly the world[3] as well as the only conference which focuses on traditional craft.[2]
