Special Event (no additional charge)
Live In-The-Moment Typewriter Poetry with The Sweet Slow in Millay’s Writing Cabin: 11 am – 3 pm
Jess Bowe of The Sweet Slow brings the art of live typewriter poetry to the Millay writing cabin, offering an intimate and enchanting experience where words are woven in-the-moment, inspired by a brief conversation, a single word, or a feeling shared by the recipient. Each poem is typed on cotton paper, becoming a one-of-a-kind keepsake—a tangible piece of poetry to hold onto, gift, or cherish forever.
