Massachusetts Poetry Festival

September 8, 2008

Well, this sounds great:

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. This first-ever, state-wide event will include readings by renowned and emerging poets, teacher workshops, performance poetry, films & music, programs for children and young writers, literary heritage tours, a small press fair, poetry in the streets, and much more.

It’s on Columbus Day weekend, October 10-12, and is being held at the Lowell National Historical Park, which is a great venue. Featured poets include Andre Dubus III, Marjorie Agosin, and Robert Pinsky.

Most of the events on the schedule are free, but the featured readings require tickets that you can buy here.
