On Friday, writers A$iaMae, a Black, non-binary Southern poet, humorist and cultural worker; professor and author Darrell Bourque; and poet Tyler Robert Sheldon will take part in a community reading with Q&As at the Hive (6:30 pm–9 pm), and then on Saturday will host writing workshops a the Thensted Center (9:30 am–5 pm).
When you're not in workshops, wander around Grand Coteau to discover students performing drive-by poetry all over town from 9:30 am–11:30 am. Throughout the afternoon, more readings will take place on the Community Stage. Details at festivalofwords.org.
