We’re trying something different this year!

Featuring State Poet Emeritus Matt Mason, 2025-26 Youth Poet Laureate Victoria Bogats, and YOU!

Bring your own picnic and blanket, and join us for an afternoon celebrating poetry. In fact, bring your own poetry to read! That’s right, it’s an Open Mic event! Bring 2-3 poems to read, or just sit, listen, encourage, and appreciate. All are welcome!!
