Celebrate Poetry Month in April with the PoughETRY Fest 2021! This Year’s hybrid event is curated by the 2017 & 2018 Dutchess County Poet Laureate – Poet Gold, in collaboration with the Cunneen Hackett Arts Center. PoughETRY Fest is a one-day festival, free and open to the public highlighting the art of poetry – both written and spoken, as well poets of the Hudson Valley and beyond. Spelled, PoughETRY, to signify where the Poet Gold resides, Poughkeepsie, NY in the Mid-Hudson Valley – this event is mindful of social distancing requirements and will be a hybrid with online programming and an in-person finale streamed live on social media platforms.
