Salem Poem Walk

Salem Poem Walk

There is nothing quite like spring in New England: blossoming trees, beautiful weather, and, of course, the Massachusetts Poetry Festival! Come celebrate the arrival of spring, and the return of the Massachusetts Poetry Festival by taking an immersive poetry walk through Salem. Trees will be hung with poetry written by Mass Poetry headliners, Montserrat and Salem State University faculty and students, and other beloved poets. Enjoy your walk with an iced coffee from one of Salem’s incredible coffee shops, or with lunch from one of our many wonderful restaurants! This event is free, public, and family-friendly. It will run the weekend prior to the Massachusetts Poetry Festival (05/08), leading up to the festival. This event was created by Jude Nixon and Meghan Miraglia of the Salem State University English Honors Society, in partnership with the Mass Poetry and the City of Salem.
