Follow along as poets offer an exploration of The Mount's grounds and selected works in the SculptureNow exhibition. Using a sculpture, or multiple sculptures, and/or the natural or built environment - past, present, or future - as prompts, poets are challenged to offer new ways of "seeing." Each of the three dates will offer a unique combination of poets and poems.
All WordXWord events are free and open to all, however, some poems may contain content or language best suited for teens and adults.
WordXWord events at The Mount may involve standing and/or modest walks. Those with mobility concerns are encouraged to contact The Mount to arrange for accommodations.
In the case of rain or inclement weather, events will be held in The Mount's large event tent.
The schedule is subject to change - for more information and/or schedule updates, visit WordXWordFestival.com.
WordXWord Festival 2023 is made possible with the support of Housatonic Heritage and the Amy Clampitt Fund, a Fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
