***SAVE THE DATE***

Mass Poetry is busy planning our next Massachusetts Poetry Festival for May 5-7, 2023! We’re excited to return to an in-person festival, continuing our partnerships with the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem State University, and the city of Salem. You know what this means, poetry lovers: workshops, headline readings, the small press fair, poet meet & greets, and extraordinary events you won’t find anywhere else. Stay tuned for our lineup of speakers, events, and more!

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

The Mass Poetry Festival would not be possible without our dedicated, phenomenal volunteers. If you’d like to join the team, please fill out this form as you are able.
