Speaking of the power of cities, after two highly successful productions in Lowell (2008-09), the Massachusetts Poetry Festival will move its tents, workshops, coffeehouse readings, and auditorium events to downtown Salem in 2011, with a packed schedule of activities set for May 13 and 14. Keep checking www.masspoetry.org for updates as the MPF takes shape. Good luck to Michael Ansara, Jacquie Malone, and the rest of the planning committee. We’ll provide updates here at rh.com also.
