Split This Rock will enter a fallow season on July 1, 2021, and all of our external programming and publishing efforts are on pause until April 1, 2022. We’re excited for time to dig into deeper wells of creativity for: 1) expanding the organizations’ capacity for working towards liberation; 2) defining more concretely what working towards liberation means at Split This Rock; 3) increasing the impact of our poetry, resistance, and community building offerings; and 4) more deeply aligning the organization’s mission with its systems, protocols, and practices. Learn more about the inspiration, projects, and goals for fallow season at the News from Split This Rock webpage. Visit the fallow season webpage to explore responses to frequently asked questions. We’re eager to continue engaging with you! To be invited to fallow season community gatherings we’ll be hosting, be sure to complete this online form.

Your sponsorship makes the Festival possible!

Major sponsorships like yours help Split This Rock cover a range of core Festival costs-- from travel, lodging, and honorariums for featured poets and venue rentals to accessibility services and scholarships for community members. Sponsorships play a major role in supplementing grants and donations and help us offer prestige poetry events for free to the public and keep the cost of Festival registration accessible to attendees.

Your sponsorship donation can be made online using this form.
