The past year has been challenging, with quarantining, masking, “pivoting,” rising up, breaking down and trying to keep it together. To mark the events, the Plunkett Maine Poetry Festival will Break Out of its usual format to celebrate the University of Maine at Augusta’s 2020-2021 academic theme of “Outbreak,” a topic inclusive of viral outbreaks, outbreaks of social justice and outbreaks of creativity.
