CAMBRIDGE POETRY FESTIVAL

The Cambridge Poetry Festival begins Sunday, April 3, in Jill Brown-Rhone Park in Central Square (across from Luna Café, 403 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge) from noon until 2 p.m., with readings by the four finalists "campaigning" to be the next Cambridge Poet Populist: Toni "Bee" Brooks, Irene Koronas [a Clarion contributor], Scott Ruescher, and Jeff Walker. The Festival continues throughout the day with open-mic poetry and musical performances at different venues throughout Cambridge and at the main branch of the Cambridge Public Library. All events are free.
