The Massachusetts Poetry Festival is a three-day celebration of the poets, poetry, and literary heritage of a state whose contribution to American poetry is unsurpassed in the nation. Join us as we pay tribute to the poets and writers of the past while experiencing the creative energy of today’s literary artists. The 2009 Massachusetts Poetry Festival will be our second annual festival, held in Lowell on Oct 16th and Oct. 17th. We are currently seeking applications for the Small Press Fair at the Festival. To apply, fill out this form. Stay tuned for more information...
Breaking News: Massachusetts-wide!
We are continuing to plan this year’s poetry festival, and we have some exciting developments to share. Last year’s festival was exclusively in Lowell. This year we will not only have an even larger presence in Lowell, with more programs and activities and poems, but we are also planning kick-off events on the evening of Thursday, October 15 in Boston, Worcester, Amhearst, and the Berkshires. Then on Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, everything shifts to Lowell for two exciting days of activity. On Sunday, October 18, there will be a closing event in Cambridge and possibly other locales. Join our email list or check back here for more details as we continue to develop the Festival schedule.
