An invitation to our arts and changemaking community:
The Triangle Poetry Festival invites North Carolina’s expansive ecosystem of art, literature, and community aid to respond to this year’s theme: MOVEMENT. Movement towards what? We answer with our bodies, together.
Bring your soul into motion at the Triangle’s new two-day experience of poetry from acclaimed poets and arts experiences with local community heart leaders.
In November 2024, poets from around the triangle joined together at THIS IS REST, a listening forum by Poets’ Playground, to discuss and understand what’s needed in our community as we reckon with dramatic social change. Since then, Poets’ Playground has responded to the community with four more events that nourished the body and soul, magnified the light within, sheltered like-hearted creators, and burned away what’s no longer serving us. The Triangle Poetry Fest will complete the cycle and begin a new one.
Call for Proposals:
We are looking for ways to connect with, nourish, and meet the needs of our community members. If you have an organization that would like to partner with Third Angle Poets, fill out this form by February 8, 2026.
Triangle Poetry Festival is a Poets’ Playground Production.
About Poets’ Playground:
