Held every other year since 1986, the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival is widely acknowledged as the largest poetry event in North America, representing the most eminent poets from the late 20th and early 21st centuries. These four-day celebrations of poetry have been called "poetry heaven" by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass, "a new Woodstock" by the Christian Science Monitor, and simply "Wordstock" by The New York Times.

This year’s Festival will be held online and will include as participants past South End Writes guest speaker Martin Espada and potential future South End Writes guest speaker Lauren Marie Schmidt.
