Salem Lit Fest is excited to bring back Enduring Hawthorne: Ekphrastic Writing. This year we are inviting all of our writers to visit The Custom House and/or The House of the Seven Gables, the famous spaces that inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne’s writing. We hope you will become equally inspired to write, be it a poem, short story, or song! Over the course of two nights, NPS and The Gables will welcome Lit Fest attendees into their spaces for a tour and Q&A.
