Celebrate the written and spoken word!

Join the Poetry as Activism Project team to explore how poetry can be used for activist interventions. Festivities include showcases where students and community members will read and perform poetry. There will also be a roundtable discussion about archiving activism at the University of Delaware, opportunities to look closer at rare and historic materials, and more!

If you are interested in participating in the student or community showcases by reading or performing works of poetry, please sign up here.

Attendees are encouraged to stop in throughout the festival to enjoy an array of activities.

The festivities kick off at noon with an open house in Special Collections, where attendees are invited to explore materials that speak to the themes of the Poetry as Activism Project. The main program begins at 1 p.m. in the Class of 1941 Lecture Room with the student showcase.
