The 2023 Festival introduced the Teen Poetry Track, allowing young talents to shine. The Teen Poetry Track previously included a collaborative mural creation, a poetry showcase, and an exhilarating teen slam series that featured several Massachusetts teams. The Teen Poetry Track will have an even larger role this year, featuring a Community Cento organized by the Teen Council, interactive events, and a teen slam performance by Mass Poetry’s SW@MP team, which will open for Danez Smith’s headline reading and Q&A on May 31st.
