The Writers Harbor® Poetry Week at Maine Media will be happening on campus in Rockport, Maine, in June 2022 with three amazing poets: Richard Blanco, Carrie Fountain, and Rajiv Mohabir.

These three poets met virtually on The Poets Corner for a special reading and conversation on Sunday, May 1st from 4:00-5:30. Each poet read some of their poems, talked about their work with Meg Weston, and answered questions from our audience. Now that we've met these poets, we can't wait for Poetry Week!
