Apr. 4, 2024: "Instructions for Traveling West," Playtime: Then and Now

Portland poet Joy Sullivan; Amowi Phillips & Jennifer Compau of Friends of Mmofra

This week's episode of the Thursday Arts (P)review — where the "p" is parenthetical because we look both forward and back — features the following guests:

  • Portland-based poet Joy Sullivan, who’s reading for Spokane Public Radio’s Poetry Moment this week. She talks about her brand-new poetry collection, Instructions for Traveling West, which was inspired by a poem of the same name that prompted her to undertake a major life change.
  • Amowi Phillips and Jennifer Compau of Friends of Mmofra. Their cross-cultural organization received Spokane Arts Grant Award (SAGA) funding for an outdoor exhibition called “Playtime: Then and Now.” The exhibition will introduce Spokane to a landmark book of poems and photos on child’s play through an interactive installation (May 3 to 29) in Spokane's Riverfront Park.

The Thursday Arts (P)review airs every Thursday at 12pm on KPBX with a roundup of arts-related news and information from across the Inland Northwest.
