Portland

Portland, Oregon's vast and varied contemporary poetry scene is on display in Portland: Alive at the Center, a community-based anthology. A collection of more than 75 poems from a wide spectrum of poets, Portland: Alive at the Center is a cultural snapshot, showcasing the best new and established voices from this vibrant city. Three poets from Portland came together to recognize the best work of their peers, curating a collection that explores the atmosphere, beauty, complexity, and personality of the region. As the inaugural project from Ooligan Press s Pacific Poetry Project, this book embodies the Project s mission to bring poetry to the people by making contemporary poetic voices accessible and exciting for everyone through community involvement and conversation.
