Join us at noon each market Saturday through 15 October, to enjoy a wide spectrum of expression from over 50 participating poets! Each reading is emceed by a different poet, who in turn sele...cts guest
readers. It's like opening a new magazine each week. The Market Day
Poetry Series is cosponsored by the St. Johns Farmers' Market, and
curated by Portland poet Dan Raphael.

Melissa Sillitoe has read in this series before, but this week, as host, she gets to pick her co-readers!  She'll be joined by David Deserano and Alexis Jewell.

Very little is known about Mr. D.B. Deserano and Mr. D.B. Deserano
prefers to keep it that way. (With apologies to Mr. A.C. Weisbecker.)

Alexis
Jewell considers herself a wordsmith. She uses words in a unique way to
convey the truth, and often the corresponding lie, of life situations.
Alexis enjoys writing about social justice issues as way to comment on
and hopefully improve cultural awareness of oppression in society.
