Join us for a free, outdoor poetry reading on the Dell stage behind the Stable. Bring your own chair or blanket. Not for the faint of heart, WordXWord’s Poets Creating Conversation throws out a single word/idea and asks poets to respond. This month we’re asking poets to linger, loiter, or perhaps even reside in DWELL.

We long ago learned that there is no predicting how the outside world and/or which life experiences and challenges will insert themselves into the conversation. That’s the magic sauce that makes PCC work. For this event, DWELL has the floor. Let’s see where it takes us.

• Pre-registration is not required for this program.
• WordxWord is an outdoor program taking place on the Dell stage behind the Stable. In the event of severe inclement weather, this program may be moved indoors. Updates (cancelling/rescheduling) will be available at WordXWordFestival.com prior to noon on the day of the event.
