The Nossrat Yassini Poetry Festival at UNH will celebrate the power of poetry to unify, bring people together, and build a better community. Poetry is the oldest literary art form and the one we turn to in times of great joy, sorrow, and inspiration. Because we treasure and remember the poems that have influenced our lives, celebrating poetry can bring us together in uniquely powerful ways.  

This world class festival will bring together poets, students, teachers, and poetry lovers of all kinds to experience the poetic richness of New Hampshire and the New England community.
