Listen to Oregon Poet Laureate Kim Stafford speak on how poetry is our native language, the imaginative explorations of children and lively people everywhere. Poems are short, so they need to sing, to intrigue, to offer secrets, and also the obvious, to say what can’t be said has not been said, must be said. In this program, we will savor some of the ways poetry can make life both buoyant and mysterious.

The Oregon Poet Laureate program is a collaborative project of the state’s five cultural partners: Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Historical Society, and State Historic Preservation Office, with funding from the Oregon Cultural Trust.
