MEET THE 2026 FRESHMAN CLASS
Each year, The Rose Garden Events selects a group of emerging poets whose voices, work ethic, and artistic vision represent the future of spoken word. The Freshman Class is more than a title, its an investment in artists who are committed to growth, storytelling, and building meaningful impact through their craft.
This year’s class brings together a powerful range of voices, perspectives, and styles, each with a unique story to tell and a shared dedication to the art form. Get to know the artists behind the voices. Explore their interviews, learn about their journeys, and discover the next generation of Poets shaping the culture. And when you're done, meet us at the Freshman Class Showcase at the legendary Bowery Poetry Club.
