The New Orleans Poetry Festival is one of the best gatherings for writers nationally, and happens during April in New Orleans.

While the schedule is in process and submissions are open for the festival until December(!), Aliah Lavonne Tigh looks forward to supporting and enjoying the festival.

MORE ABOUT THE EVENT:

The mission of the New Orleans Poetry Festival and Small Press Fair is to create a space for an inclusive and diverse group of writers to collaborate, share and influence each other while also being immersed in the distinctive literary culture of New Orleans. Our goal every year is to bring in poets and performers from across the globe to share their work and research in topics not only specific to writing but to all aspects of the Humanities, including cultural, political, ecological and historical disciplines relevant to contemporary New Orleans, Louisiana, and the world. We showcase the best writers New Orleans has to offer to our visitors, and to the local community we try to offer the most compelling authors from across the nation and the globe.
