"...in case anyone missed it, we’ve changed the format for this year’s event. Rather than a gallery walk, this year’s festival will take place at a single venue and will feature a fast-paced, live multimedia show of poems and images, along with a Pecha-Kucha inspired mix & mingle. The festival draws a devoted crowd of poets and artists from across the state and New England, so, regardless of one’s position in this year’s event—whether showcased or supporting—please treat this as an opportunity to make connections, share ideas, and join a lively dialogue about the presence and the possibilities of art...."
