The 2025 Massachusetts Poetry Festival

Earlier this year, Mass Poetry hosted its second annual Teen Spoken Word Festival—Write Here | Write Now | Speak Loud!—in collaboration with Emerson College. This showcase will feature three of the top-performing teams, who not only delivered powerful poetry but also embodied the spirit and values of the festival. Each team will share their work and reflect on their experience. The event will be hosted by one of the festival’s organizers, Anthony Febo, Mass Poetry’s Teen Spoken Word Coordinator.
