Celebrate National Poetry Month with Portland poets Amy Baskin, Andrea Deeken, Genevieve DeGuzman, and Theresa Q. Tran as they read poems that nurture and engage the collective spirit. In times of great uncertainty, what gives us sustenance? How do we take care of ourselves and one other in difficult times? Join these award-winning poets in creative conversation with poems that nurture.
