Good evening, Salem.

Interested in trying your hand at poetry and learning about Indigenous storytelling?

A Saturday workshop led by poet and archeologist Renee Roman Noose will give beginners or experienced poets the chance to get creative and practice storytelling. There will be prompts for people to use for writing and Roman Noose will give feedback.

Roman Noose will be joined by Trevino Brings Plenty, a Native American poet, for a Sunday poetry reading at the Dye House at the Willamette Heritage Center.

The workshop will be from 10 a.m. to noon at the Bush Barn Art Center Annex. The workshop fee is $25 and those interested in attending should email Eleanor Berry at [email protected]. The reading is free to attend.

More information about the events are available on Facebook here, or below in Salem Reporter’s story on the workshop and reading.
