A live reading, art viewing and panel discussion celebrating the ways creative ideas echo across mediums. We commissioned three authors to write a short piece inspired by this year’s Maine Lit Fest theme – “responding to the moment” – then commissioned three artists to reinterpret their work visually, for publication in a limited-run reWorks zine! Free copies of the zine will be distributed at the start of the event, and artwork will be displayed while our authors read from and discuss their entries with each other.

We are grateful to have worked with writers Samaa Abdurraqib, Gary Rainford, and Josie Sibara, and artists Katherine Emery, Jennifer Judd-McGee, and Kaitlyn Miller.

This program is an Open Call Event of the 2026 Maine Lit Fest and was made possible through the support of the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance.
