Local poets are invited to read their original poems in the galleries as a closing celebration for the end of the exhibition At the Seam: The Museum of Northwest Art’s Permanent Collection. This event will be MC’ed by painter and poet Duane Kirby Jensen, the host of Everett Poetry Night. Poets are encouraged to explore the exhibitions as inspiration for their ekphrastic poetry and to sign up in advance to read up to five minutes of original writing.
The reading order of poets will be assigned in chronological order based on when people sign up using the form below. Once the first 20 spots are filled, additional poets may read depending on if there is time. If you sign up to read your email will be shared with MC Duane Kirby Jensen.
