Staten Island OutLOUD gathers neighbors for the fun of reading aloud and sharing ideas. We promote cross-cultural understanding with grass-roots gatherings that highlight our community’s rich diversity.

We dig into a wide range of ideas, but with a twist… We make it fun, and everyone can have a say! Join us to explore a creative mix: from hip-hop to haiku, Don Quixote to the Kabbalah, the Lincoln-Douglas debates to Barry Goldwater and Paul Wellstone.

We bring neighbors together to read Rumi, Maya Angelou, Patti Smith, Mark Twain, Henry Rollins, Rita Dove, Chinua Achebe, Emily Dickenson, Joy Harjo, Pushkin, Langston Hughes, Aesop, Mahfouz, Melville, Martin Luther King Jr, Isabel Allende, Walt Whitman, Tagore, Sojourner Truth, Confucius, John Locke and Rousseau. From the Constitution to the Qu’ran, Borges to the Buddha, St. Augustine to the Bhagavad Gita, the Bill of Rights, the Emancipation Proclamation, Genesis and Freud and Jung, and hundreds more.
