“Poems in and out of Places” Winners’ Reading!

In 2023, nearly 100 Worcester County residents created poems about the city’s public spaces for a one-time contest sponsored by Mapping Worcester in Poetry and judged by poet laureate Oliver de la Paz. Join MWiP and WCPA at the Museum of Worcester to hear some of the winning poems and meet the poets behind them. You can find a list of winners and honorable mentions here.

The new exhibit “The Poem Next Door” will also be open for viewing at 5:30 pm before the program begins at 6 pm. This event is FREE as part of the Museum of Worcester’s 150th anniversary celebration. To attend, please register here.
