The Dying Art of Love Letters with Mery Noel Smith

An Inland Northwest Poetry Salon Workshop

A poetry workshop about love, presented by Spokane's Poet Laureate Mery Noel Smith. This is part of the first annual Inland Northwest Poetry Salon.

Today we’ll be discussing and writing poetry about LOVE. Which inevitably means: Pain, grief, and loss. We’ll also explore themes of everyday ordinary love, of course, since there isn’t a reality without both, the good and the hard.

This is one of eleven poetry events occurring at the first annual Inland Northwest Poetry Salon on June 1st.

This first-annual, day-long event at the Liberty Park Library (402 S. Pittsburg Street) will feature panels, poetry workshops and a bevy of local writers. The Inland NW Poetry Salon celebrates the craft of poetry, spotlights regional poets, and welcomes participants in all phases of their writing lives.

About the presenter: Mery Noel Smith is the current Spokane Poet Laureate. Her work has been featured in The Comet, Tellher.com, the anthology Pivot & Pause, and at the Listen to Your Mother event. She is the author of one chapbook, Crumbs.
