Unspoken Word Poetry Festival
October 25, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 7:30 pm EDT
Unspoken Word is co-curated by poet-educator Danielle Colin and creative strategist Patrick Harris Jr., two cultural leaders rooted in creating restorative, care-driven spaces. Emerging from the world of poetry and writing, the festival responds to burnout, the fading of slam circuits, and the growing pressures on today’s literary community — centering connection, wellness, and sustainable creative growth for poets, writers, and beyond.
