Welcome!

Welcome to Farewell Poetry Festival's first season! We are so excited to have you join our mission: celebrating poetry on our beautiful, creative island.

Our first season - Ever!

our Local Festival

The Farewell Poetry Festival is a passion project. Anna Popnikolova graduated Nantucket High School with a love for poetry. Before leaving her hometown for college, she wanted to start something that would celebrate her love for the arts and her love for the island. This is her Farewell.
