The Peoples Poetry Festival began in 2015, through the collaboration of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Del Mar University. This annual poetry festival brings together poets from the local area, regionally, state wide, and beyond.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 People’s Poetry Fest will be hosted online. While this is not the same as years past, we hope to bring more poets and attendees who previously were unable to attend.
