Celebrating National Poetry Month from the rolling foothills of California’s Gold Country to the rugged High Sierra, the 10th Annual Sierra Poetry Festival culminates as a dynamic mainstage event on April 18. Keynote speakers Robert Hass and Brenda Hillman are joined by Major Jackson, Francesca Bell, Tongo Eisen-Martin, Jimmy Vega, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, José Hernandez Diaz, and many others.
Festivities commence on March 21st, World Poetry Day, and continue through the month of April with the SPF Fringe, a month-long fringe poetry festival happening in locations across Nevada County.
Like communities across the world, we believe that poetry has the power to inspire, heal, and build bridges. We believe that it is a healthy way to share experiences, teach patience and joy, and bring communities together. Join some of our most exciting local, national, and international poets and performers to celebrate the spoken word!
