This initiative from Spokane Poet Laureate Mark Anderson and Spokane Arts gives local poets the opportunity to make their voices heard at Spokane City Council meetings. All poets or community members who write poetry in the Spokane region are invited to read. This opportunity offers local poets a new audience within the Spokane community, and reminds council meeting attendees that poetry plays an important part in the civic realm. Interested poets can find all the details and submit a single poem via Spokane Arts’ Submittable.
