Avid readers revel in the written word during the 10th annual Bookstock Literary Festival. This three-day celebration of established and emerging talent draws bookworms to downtown Woodstock for presentations and readings by more than 40 novelists, poets and nonfiction authors. Book sales, live music, kids’ activities, workshops on poetry and nature writing, and the book-themed art exhibit “Unbound VOL.VIII” fill out the agenda. Featured artists include prolific author Reeve Lindberg, best-selling novelist Richard Russo and three-term U.S. poet laureate Robert Pinsky (pictured). On Saturday evening, Pinsky presents PoemJazz, a unique conversation between language and instrument that evokes a literary and musical muse.

Price: Free.
