During its opening years, Outriders was also instrumental in launching the New York Poets-in-the-Schools program in the Buffalo area. Directed by Esther Harriott, this program brought poets for readings and workshops to local high schools, including Phil [[Dow]], [[Erica Jong]], [[Shirley Kaufman]], [[Carolyn Kizer]], [[Morton Marcus]], [[Bill Matthews]], C.W. Truesdale, and [[Al Young]].<br />
In its 1970-71 season, Outriders also ran two “Third World Poetry Festivals” that showcased Latino poets Felipe Luciano, Jose-Angel Figueroa and [[Pedro Pietri]] (later well-known as members of the [[Nuyorican]] school) and the late Nigerian poet, Pol Ndu.<br />
In 1978 and 1979, Outriders, through its Director, co-sponsored Summer Poetry Festivals with Artpark (Lewiston, NY) and the [[University at Buffalo]], featuring, among others, Marvin Bell, Irving Feldman, Canada’s Four Horsemen, Anselm Hollo, David Ignatow, J.F. Nims, Carlene Polite, Mark Rudman, Louis Simpson, William Stafford, Gerald Stern, Virginia Terris, and Harriett Zinnes.
