During this annual Festival residents of North Carolina and beyond can submerge themselves into the atmosphere of spoken word poetry, and other literary arts there in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

What will your charitable donation do? With your generous donation, this Festival will use your contributions to help aspiring poets. As a result, these aspiring poets can overcome their fears such as writer 's block and speak in public.
