An intimate evening with two legends of spoken word, Poetry Show features Seattle poet Karen Finneyfrock and Portland poet Anis Mojgani, with music by Susie Philipsen. Having been a caregiver to two parents with dementia, poet and novelist Karen Finneyfrock will read poems on the subject of memory and loss, self-discovery and renewal. Coming up from Portland for one night, Anis Mojgani, the 10th Poet Laureate of Oregon and two-time individual champion of the National Poetry Slam, will read new work. Susie Philipsen’s music is big-voiced and tender, inviting you to surface your feelings. This show is supported by Seattle Office of Arts & Culture.
