The Pathways To Poetry Festival is an annual celebration of poetry in all its forms, from spoken word and performance poetry to songwriting and bibliotherapy. Through live performances, interactive workshops, and intimate gatherings, the festival brings poetry to life in ways that linger long after the final word is spoken. Whether you come to listen, write, learn, or simply be inspired, this is a space where poetry engages every sense, every stage of life, and every corner of community. Supported by the Stratford Writers Festival, this annual gathering honours poetry as a living force. One that shapes how we listen, how we feel, and how we understand ourselves and one another.
