AUGUSTA — This past year has been challenging. We have been quarantining, masking, “pivoting,” rising up, breaking down, and just trying to keep it together.
To mark the events of this moment, the annual Plunkett Maine Poetry Festival will break out of its usual format to celebrate the University of Maine at Augusta’s (UMA) 2020-2021 academic theme of “Outbreak,” a topic inclusive of viral outbreaks, outbreaks of social justice, and outbreaks of creativity.
The Plunkett Festival will partner with the UMA Danforth Gallery to provide a virtual multifaceted literary and arts event on April 30, 2021. Additional details on the Danforth Gallery Exhibition are available at https://www.uma.edu/news/the-outbreak-project-exhibition-april-6-30-2021/
