Salem Poetry Project featuring December First Writers

The December First Writers, a Portland, Oregon-based collective of poets and writers named for World AIDS Day, has been giving readings since 2013 on the personal impact of AIDS/HIV on their lives. They are dedicated to education, dialogue, community-building, and raising awareness & support for AIDS organizations and resources. They engage all types of audiences with their diverse writing.

April 2 through April 23 the Salem Poetry Project continues at the Bush Barn Annex, 600 Mission St SE, Salem. Parking for the Bush Barn and Bush House is located off of High Street and the Annex entrance is just to the left of the main entrance. 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.
