Saturday we’ll have a full day of community-sourced programming, a poetry carnival, a small press fair, and headline readings from Camille Dungy, New Hampshire poet laureate Alexandria Peary, as well as the winners of our two book prizes. We also have some poetry tricks up our sleeves… If you can only attend one day, this is the one you don’t want to miss!

Sunday we’ll have a poetry brunch and reading, and honor the winners of our Wildcats Poetry Prize. 

Want to get involved? We’ll be looking for folks to help us plan the Festival, putting out a call for event proposals and volunteers, as well as readers for our contests.
