Triangle Poetry Fest
Details
Join the artists, the heart-leading advocates, and the movers in the margins. The challenges we face as a community are great. Greater still is our hope, our creativity, and our resilient love for one another.
On March 20 and 21, 2026, Boxyard RTP and Third Angle Poets will host an immersive poetry experience for poets and poetry lovers alike, regardless of age or artistic background.
This event will require attendees to RSVP. Check the agenda and claim your space today!
Our festival theme is MOVEMENT. Movement toward what? We answer with our bodies, together.
The event kicks off Friday evening with a meet-and-greet and roaming poetry exchange. Saturday activities will include revisionary and generative workshops with Writeaways and Paradiso Poetry, a lunchtime slam, a tea ceremony and seed scattering to honor Refaat Alareer and Renee Good, and featured readings.
The fest concludes with a bona fide spectacle: 99 poets reading simultaneously (like those monks walking for peace, but not quiet).
