virtual 2021
february 27-28th
A virtual Poemfest with your favorite poets
from the Sangre de Cristo mountains and beyond. Our virtual festival this year will be a reunion of the community we’ve enjoyed the past three years. The fourth annual Poemfest will be different from those in years past, but we will feature some of the best writers in Colorado and New Mexico, and we will pass the gourd.
With readings, open mics, and workshops, you'll have an opportunity to inspire and be inspired. Choose your workshop, and start thinking about what to read at the open mic. And explore the website for the rest of the fest: do some shopping at the bookstore, and be a part of the Ekphrastic experience with local Crestone Artists.
