Poetry Press Week in Poetry Northwest, Fall 2013
“Poetry Press Week did not last for a week. Nor did it showcase presses.” Carrie Kahler’s write-up in Poetry Northwest dispels these and other myths and anticipates more after our debut season at Literary Arts in 2013.

Portland Mercury’s BLOGTOWN, Fall 2013
From Thomas Ross’s observations of our debut show at Literary Arts: “To see poetry pulled apart. . .was one of the great benefits of this strange format. . . . Rubbing elbows with publishers, editors, fans, and readers is always fun, but it’s all the more fun to exchange jaw-dropped looks and mouth the words “Holy Shit” to someone you’ve just met. If Mehl and Rigamonti can keep the poets at this caliber and the audience this rapt, they’ve got the makings of a brilliant new kind of poetry event.”

Poetry Press Week in Portland Monthly, Fall 2013
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.”
