Poets House is a national literary center and poetry library based in New York City, United States.

[citation needed] With holdings of more than 80,000 volumes,[2] Poets House contains virtually all poetry books published in the U.S. since 1990, plus many that are long out of print dating to the early 20th Century.

[citation needed] In November 2020, Poets House announced it was suspending operations as a result of the economic impact of COVID-19.

[6][2] In 2009, Poets House moved from its longstanding location in SoHo to an eco-friendly "green" building at Ten River Terrace in Lower Manhattan's Battery Park City.

[1][7] The space's interiors were designed by architect Louise Braverman, and is on two floors covering 11,000 square feet (1,000 m2) that opens onto an extension of Teardrop Park.
