Poetry can favor many topics from the intimate to the very public, but it also can speak to entertainments like baseball.
Baseball Bard will host the First Annual National Baseball Poetry Festival April 28-30, 2023 at Polar Park in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The park is the official home of the Worcester Red Sox (Triple-A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox)
The poetry festival is presented by the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce in association with Baseballbard.com.
Check out the list of activities:
- Official Welcome
- Attendance at Two Worcester Red Sox Games
- On-Field Pitch-and-Catch plus Other Activities
- Behind-the-Scenes Stadium Tour
- Giant Video-Board Poetry Presentations
- Seventh-Inning Stretch Celebrations
- Open-mic Nights at Local Establishments
- And more to come
I’m tentatively scheduled to read, and hope that those of you in the area will come out to support this event.
POETS WANTED: The Festival is seeking poets to participate in the open mic sessions. If you wish to present your poem to an enthusiastic audience, please contact Mark Sickman at the following e-mail address: [email protected].
Mark, for the games we will need wheelchair access and seating.
Looking forward to it all.
Just checking if this is a go this year.
