America’s Top Prize-Winning Poets Converge in Salem, MA for the Three-Day Mass Poetry Festival.
The 8th Massachusetts Poetry Festival brings American’s most admired poets from across the country to a celebration of Massachusetts’ lively contemporary poetry scene—Friday, April 29 – Sunday, May 1, 2016 in downtown Salem, MA.
Throughout the weekend, we spotlight the following highly acclaimed poets: former N.Y. Poet Laureate Marie Howe, 2015 Pulitzer-prize recipient Greg Pardlo, Mark Doty, Sandra Beasley, Martha Collins, Edward Hirsch, Ada Limón, David Rivard, Charles Simic, and Ocean Vuong.
The Mass Poetry Festival offers nearly 100 poetry readings and workshops, a small press and literary fair, panels, poetry slams, and open-air readings. Panel topics range broadly from The State of Poetry, poetry and gender, book publishing, poetry and Asian art, to the Common Threads Reading, where contemporary poets with Massachusetts ties discuss their literary heirs. More than 150 poets will engage with thousands of New Englanders. Admission is $20, and $7 for students and seniors; an additional $10 service fee for all workshops.
