Pride Poems spotlights LGBTQ+ poets from the greater Washington DC region, by releasing a new video each day during the month of June, in honor of Pride Month. The theme for 2026 is Urban Poems: poems that are set in cities and reflect city life and culture. Videos are short — some as short as half a minute in length-and feature the author who wrote each poem reading their work.
