PB POETRYFESTIVAL

What are we to do now, without our Miles? It's hard to say, but it's our hope—& we believe Miles would agree—that the best way is to gather in his honor to fill a room with poetry. Come celebrate his work & his life on Wed, August 17, from 7:00-8:30 pm ET. ow.ly/rp1o50JB59M

It is with deep sadness that we report Festival Founder & President, Miles Coon, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 21, 2022 in Palm Beach. He leaves behind his loving family, his wife Mimi, son Matthew, daughter Jennifer, and grandson Elias. conta.cc/38aW3pj

I am the son of Mexican immigrants. I am also a Guggenheim Fellow in Poetry. The first sentence made the second sentence possible. Don’t you forget that. I never will.

@yonaharvey @GuggFellows Congratulations!🎉

How does a poem change the world? Listen to @pswordwoman recite her persona poem, "Skinhead," at the 2014 Palm Beach Poetry Festival. A close reading of African-American poetry is how we celebrate Black HIstory Month. ow.ly/spbs50HKv88 #blackhistorymonth #pbpf

Following his 2022 PBPF craft talk, @kwamedawes elaborated: “I can’t control my family, my history, where I live, but if I practice my craft, the readiness will be there when the idea comes.” Let’s celebrate the words and ideas of African-American poets. #pbpf #blackhistorymonth

"The dragon is in the street dancing beneath windows / pasted with colored squares," from Lynda Hull. Happy Lunar New Year. As we usher out the Ox and welcome in the Tiger, we invite you to enjoy "Chinese New Year," at this link: ow.ly/OvwL50HIsJ2 #poetrycommunity #pbpf
