The Dogtown Writers Festival
September 27, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - September 28, 2019 @ 9:00 pm
September 27 and 28
Join us and other fellow writers in exploring and celebrating PLACE, with Cape Ann as a microcosm of the global macrocosm. The festival will be looking at what shapes our progressive future without losing “grounding” in our cultural roots and the history we grow out of. We will develop our personal connection with the “geography of our being”—the place in which we live, work, and create, whether that place is Cape Ann or beyond. It is what poet Vincent Ferrini referred to as the “Holy Local,” a lens through which to look at the world.
