Words Before Dinner

Motif No. 1 Day celebrates the Arts across several mediums, with the written word featured every year during the festival's Words Before Dinner Event. Poets come together to read original work inspired by life on Cape Ann - the history, the landscape, the industry, the art of this compelling place.
