The Massachusetts Poetry Festival 2016

Spoken word is thriving on today’s college campuses, and it is changing the way poetry is written, taught, and understood. This program features college slammers from Salem State University and Merrimack College, students who are tapping into the spoken word movement to express, explore and assert identity, as well as to engage with the political and social issues of the day. Come check out some dynamic performances and get a first hand look at the Massachusetts college poetry scene in action.
