The 2025 Massachusetts Poetry Festival

Four powerhouse teams will take the stage, sharing original work that speaks to their lives, their truths, and the world around them. Through poetry, these incredible writers will challenge, uplift, and move us—one verse at a time.

This is more than a competition—it’s a celebration of voice, vulnerability, and the power of spoken word. Whether you’re here to cheer, snap, or sit on the edge of your seat, one thing’s for sure: you’ll leave inspired.
