Looking for local writers and poets for a live reading!
Hello! I helped organize a live reading at PRAx during OSU's literary journal---PRISM's----2025 launch party, and a year later, I'm joining up with a local artist to do another one! We'll be hosting Spoken Word for Peace on August 19th from 7-9pm in the common house of Coho Ecovillage, and we're looking for local artists to read their poetry and prose.
We're open to sign-ups for up to 3 pieces, totalling up to 10 minutes of spoken word combined. Mature content is absolutely fine (we'll have the family-friendly writing first and the mature writing later, so people with young children can stay for the first part and leave when it gets too much), but we ask for no "on-screen" sexual violence, torture, or detailed child/animal abuse. No AI-generated work, please!
If you're interested, please sign up here!
Our "official" description: Spoken Word for Peace is a community celebration of poetry and prose, featuring live readings from local writers and poets both established and new to the scene. There will be $10 charged at the door to all non-performers, every cent of which will go to Corvallis Palestine Solidarity's clean water for Gaza fundraiser!
If you have any questions, feel free to message me. We look forward to hearing your writing!
