Twelve poets from the more than 100 who submit poems this year will share their poems at this year’s PoemTown St Johnsbury Reading and Reception. Many of the poems address the 2026 PoemTown theme, “Voices.” All are invited to stay for a reception and poet meet-and-greet.

PoemTown St. Johnsbury, an annual celebration of National Poetry Month in April, is a collaborative project of Catamount Arts, the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, and Discover St. Johnsbury.

This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.
