Three poets. Three voices in harmony.

Join us for an evening of poetry featuring visiting poet Pamela Wax*, author of 'Every Single Beast of My Heart'. Pamela will be reading from her new collection alongside two local poets, Mery Smith (Spokane's current Poet Laureate) and Laura Read (former Spokane Poet Laureate and author of 'The Serious World'). With work exploring the complexities of memory, identity, family, loss, connection and the strange and beautiful details of everyday life, this reading is sure to spark meaningful conversation.

*Pamela is the author of two previous poetry collections, Walking the Labyrinth (Main Street Rag, 2022) and Starter Mothers (Finishing Line Press, 2023). Her poems, published in over 60 literary journals, have received three Best of the Net nominations and awards from Crosswinds, Paterson Literary Review, Poets’ Billow, Oberon, the Ruben Rose Memorial Poetry Competition, and the Robinson Jeffers Tor House.
