The Grand River Poetry Collective will take center stage at the GR Lit Fest’s “GR Poetry… is LIT!” — an all-day celebration at the Wealthy Theatre Annex (1110 Wealthy St  SE, Grand Rapids). Kicking off the day at 10 AM, this free, family-friendly festival—hosted in partnership with GR‑MiFi—will spotlight storytelling, community, and creative expression through a rich lineup of poetry workshops, pop-up readings, interactive zine-making booths, panel discussions, and open-mic sessions. Led by Grand Rapids Poet Laureate Christine Stephens‑Krieger, the Grand River Poetry Collective invites poets of all levels to engage in narrative justice, share their voices, and connect deeply with the region’s literary community.
