2022 FisherPoets Gathering
February 24-26

We don't plan to make a habit of it but, given the unpredictable pandemic weather, here's another virtual FisherPoets Gathering schooling up. It was great fun last year and ought to be again. We invite friends and fans once again to catch 'em all and for free by following the FisherPoets Gathering on-line as we stream it all live.
​
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening readings will feature two 90-minute shows of fifteen or so fisherpoets keeping it short and sweet, a parade of five-minute performances, original song, story and poetry from the commercial fishing industry. A thirty-minute break will separate shows.

Among the Gathering's special events expect another Saturday morning and afternoon of on-line workshops and presentations on topics like performing the spoken word, creating traditional fisherman's sweaters, crafting working poetry and restoring global ocean health.

Here below is the list of fisherpoets who'll join us for this, our 25th Annual FisherPoets Gathering (rev 1/20/22)
