WAMFest posters
Say “poetry” or “poet” and you won’t have to have a conversation for long, either in a classroom or at a party. But if you mention music and songwriting to those same people, they expand again, filled with life and endless strong opinions. In 2009, the Words, Arts, Music Festival was born with this in mind. -- David Daniel, poet, creator of WAMFest

Fairleigh Dickinson University would like to thank Bob and Patricia Pures and Morris Arts who help make WAMFest possible.
