LIT Sunday: Spoken Word
Start your Sunday morning with a jolt of emotional truth and lyrical brilliance from some of the most dynamic voices in poetry today. This year’s lineup spans cultural ambassadorships, national slam championships, regional art collectives, and the Oregon State Poet Laureate himself. These poets bring the fire.
Anis Mojgani is Oregon’s 10th Poet Laureate. A two time champion of the National Poetry Slam, and winner of the international World Cup Poetry Slam, Anis is the author of six books of poetry, an opera libretto, and a forthcoming children’s picture book. His work has appeared on HBO, NPR, and amongst numerous literary journals. Originally from New Orleans, Anis lives in Portland Oregon where he can be found making art in his studio and occasionally reading poems from out its window at sunset to others.
