Join us as we kick off the 2025 Winter Festival of Poetry, The Winter Festival of Poetry, a program of the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, is Wisconsin's longest continuously running poetry program of its size. Hosted by poet James P. Roberts, this 8-week series features six poets each week, reading for roughly 10 minutes each. The series runs from January 19 to March 9. The theme this year is PASSPORT TO POETRY, celebrating places we'd prefer to be, especially in the winter!
