Indigenous Voices: An Evening of Poetry & Conversation In a market saturated with stanzas seemingly pulled straight from a 14-year-old’s Tumblr blog, the world of poetry needs more diverse voices that are willing to be subversive, introspective and uplift underrepresented communities. This evening, presented in part by Humanities Washington, features four Indigenous Washington state poets reading selections from their work and speaking about poetry — and the world — through an Indigenous lens. Poets participating in the event are Laura Da’ (Eastern Shawnee), Rena Priest (Lummi, and the current Washington State Poet Laureate), Cedar Sigo (Suquamish) and Arianne True (Choctaw, Chickasaw). If you find yourself on the west side of the Cascades, this event is being held in person at Evergreen State College. Otherwise, a livestream link is provided upon registration.
