Reserve your table at the Small Press and Literary Fair at the Mass Poetry Festival


Saturday May 3, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. 

The Small Press and Literary Fair will take place outside of the Peabody Essex Museum (with a rain location for inclement weather) on Saturday May 3 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Literary journals, library organizations, university libraries or academic programs, and other community centers are also encouraged to participate. This will be a great opportunity to promote your material to an audience of more than 1,500 poetry lovers, and to engage with like-minded organizations.
