Geof Hewitt has degrees from Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Iowa. Author of four books of poems and three books for teachers, he is Vermont’s reigning poetry slam champion, and regularly hosts slams throughout the state.
Geof Hewitt offers poems that defy stereotype, discussing the magical loosening of “poetry” in the past fifty years that has opened doors for reluctant readers.
Our seasonal “Words in the Woods” program allows Vermonters and visitors to enjoy our state’s natural beauty while listening to and reading literature in the outdoors.
Humanities Camps are filled with reading and writing projects, field trips, and outdoor activities.
We won a 2020 Schwartz Prize for best public humanities programming in the U.S. for Vermont Reads 2019: “March: Book One.”
