San Ygnacio’s historic Treviño-Uribe Fort is the setting for the River Pierce Foundation’s annual Poetry Under the Sundial Festival on Saturday, March 28 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The festival, which began in 2015, celebrates the Spring Equinox and features local and regional poets, writers, and musicians who present original works as well as literary classics.
Poetry as an oral tradition has the power to express and provoke new perspectives about the world and can be a powerful tool to address the social and environmental challenges of our times.
The foundation encourages readings that resonate with the theme, “Restoration from Distortion: A Healing of the Mind.”
The event is free and open to all poets, writers, and musicians. Each participant is allotted up to ten minutes for the reading of their original or favorite poetry, short stories, and spoken word. We ask that material be appropriate for all ages. Register to participate at riverpierce.org
