The archives of the International Poetry Forum contain recordings by hundreds of the world’s most celebrated poets and performers, including Seamus Heaney, Gwendolyn Brooks, Mary Oliver, Chinua Achebe, Jorge Luis Borges, W.H. Auden, Lucille Clifton, Grace Kelly, Gregory Peck, James Earl Jones, Danny Glover, Queen Noor of Jordan, and many more. Since 1966, the International Poetry Forum has made recordings of its events available to the public for free.

Video recordings from 2024 onwards are available on the International Poetry Forum’s YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook pages. Recordings from the Hazo era of the International Poetry Forum (1966–2009) were donated to Carlow University in Pittsburgh, who manages the historic audio archive covering that 43-year period.
