Kristin Leigh in Portland Monthly said of our 2013 debut show: “The audience filed out of Literary Arts . . .into the chilly November night a little shaken and fully inspired. To say that the energy of the first Portland Poetry Press Week breathed air into a tired format doesn’t quite do it justice. What I witnessed Thursday night kicked the stale, awkward poet–at–the–mike’s ass.”
