The Nick Virgilio Haiku Association is proud to be Camden’s center for writers of all ages, honoring Camden’s own Nick Virgilio, world renowned haiku poet. The Writers House, opened in 2018, is a community space and provides educational programs to support literacy, creative writing, and self-expression through the writing of haiku and other verse forms. We house Mighty Writers Camden to offer educational opportunities and food and diaper distribution to Camden’s families. Outside, you will find a Book Ark mini library with free books inside for the public.
For inquiries about using the Writers House for your events, or to visit by appointment, contact staff@nickvirgiliohaiku.org. Classes are in session during the week. To visit us check out transit info here
The Writers House, at 1801 Broadway, had been vacant and boarded up since the 1970’s when, in 2010, the Heart of Camden, with the urging of Monsignor Michael Doyle of Sacred Heart Church, acquired the property to transform it into the Nick Virgilio Writers House. As seen in the gallery below, it was a daunting undertaking. Now, the house with its fully accessible first floor and garden area, has interior areas for writing, presentations, and a small kitchen. The construction was enabled by generous support from our initial sponsors, Campbell’s, PNC, NJ American Water and the NJ Department of Community Affairs.
