The Poets are coming! The Poets are coming!!
We are very excited about the Mass Poetry Festival's move to Salem. If you are planning to come to Salem for the festival on May 13-14, 2011, you will want to be aware of the promotions being offered by some of Salem's savvy accommodations and restaurants.
Visit the Festival web site at MassPoetry.org for the complete list. If you want more options, visit Salem.org and click on STAY or EAT.
One more poetry note: April is Poetry Month, and Mass Poetry has organized a program called Common Threads, which strives to have 10,000 people across the Commonwealth reading the following seven poems:
- In the Waiting Room by Elizabeth Bishop
- Samurai Song by Robert Pinsky
- The Lost Pilot by James Tate
- Occupation by Suji Kwock Kim
- Vita Nova by Louise Glück
