SUMMARY:Salem Poetry Project featuring Isabel Jaén
DESCRIPTION:Isabel Jaén is a professor, writer, and performer who divides her time between Portland and Madrid. She holds PhDs from the Universidad Complutense and Purdue University, teaches at Portland State University, and writes and speaks on literature, film, cognition, and empathy. Jaén began her poetic career in the 90s in Madrid, where she participated in poetic gatherings, collaborated with visual artists, and performed with several theater troupes. She was a student of the poet Carlos Bousoño and later focused her doctoral research on the relationship between poetry and film. She has served as a judge for several Spanish poetry contests and is currently a board member of the Oregon Poetry Association (OPA).\nApril 30 through June 11 the Salem Poetry Project will be temporarily housed at the First Presbyterian Church Chapel near the Oregon State Capitol, 770 Chemeketa St NE. Their parking lot is one-way, with the entrance on Chemeketa St and the exit on Court St. There is also a fair amount of street parking. Enter through the west entrance, the one that faces the parking lot and YMCA. Each week will present a featured reader followed by the Infamous Open Mic: 3 poems or five minutes whichever is first. Featured reader begins at 7:00 and the open mic will directly follow.
