James Wright Poetry Festival

James Wright Poetry Festival

The James Wright Poetry Festival was held annually in early spring in Martins Ferry, Ohio, United States, Wright's home town, to celebrate the poetry of James Wright, the Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet.

The Festival had been held annually since 1981, but was suspended in 2007.
