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.
