The 2025 Massachusetts Poetry Festival

Come by our headquarters in Old Town Hall to purchase books by Festival poets and performers, provided by justBookish! JustBook-ish is a literary gathering space that provides programming and events for creative communities in Dorchester. Culturally curated, radically influenced, and locally inspired, justBook-ish seeks to shift the narrative in the publishing world by housing a collection of books by writers whose work often challenges political paradigms. Partnering with numerous organizations and artists, it offers a centralized hub and networking space in a cozy and comfortable book-cafe setting. In addition to philanthropic support, revenue from books and beverages will help to offset the cost of operations and programming.

At justBook-ish, we believe every person is like a book: judge not by the cover, but by the content, remember each person has a unique story, and always take good care of your spine.
