Poet Laureate
Poetry Festival
Over the course of the 3-day festival, numerous events and engagement opportunities will take place: workshops for youth, teens, and adults centering on a variety of topics, including arts and activism, and writing poems. In addition, there will be a youth open mic, kickoff event in collaboration with Food Truck Friday (tentative due to COVID. Virtual option as backup), the crowning of Rock Hill's first Youth Poet Laureate and the Poetry Brunch. Pulitzer Prize winner Mr. Jericho Brown will perform his keynote reading for the Poetry Brunch.
