The Camden Festival of Poetry brings distinguished voices in poetry to Camden for an annual Festival, celebrates Maine poets and singer-songwriters, and encourages young voices in poetry throughout the year. Listening to and talking about poetry, we find connections discovering the “inseparability of our own lives and the lives of others.” {quote from Jane Hirshfield}

Prior to the keynote by esteemed poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Samaa will join a select group of Maine poets and musicians for an hour of poetry readings and music. Other artists include: Betsy Sholl, t love smith, Ian-Khara Ellasante, Bruce Willard, and Alice Limoges.
