The New Orleans Poetry Festival has announced that it will, in fact, take place this year, in a modified format. From the organizers:
- Throughout the month of April we will host virtual and hybrid events. All of you who had events accepted for NOPF 20 are welcome to recast (or entirely replace) those events in the virtual environment.
- Events will run throughout the month. None will be concurrent. One or two events per day.
- We will use the beloved zoom platform for broadcasting, however we want to encourage everyone to move beyond the mugshot views we normally see there. We’re happy to help with ideas in this regard.
- We will broadcast the zoom performances live and archive a video to the website.
- While we are still ironing out technical issues, we encourage everyone who submitted a proposal for ’20 to let us know if you will be participating this year.
