Though the name would imply a focus on poetry, all forms are enthusiastically welcomed, from short fiction to dramatic monologue to performance art. However, we ask that all pieces be under 5 minutes in length and we do not allow musical accompaniment or props. This page includes regular updates on the Corvallis literary scene, videos of today's best spoken word and slam poetry, as well as innovative as to how poetry and art can be used to change the world for the better.

It is with sadness this morning that we learned of the passing of Geronimo Tagatec. Though not a poet, he had visited the Salem Poetry Project off and on over the years and even read short works at the open mic. A sad day for the Salem literary community to be sure.

I have added a link to one of Geronimo's stories. https://cbrainard.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-simple-grace-by-geronimo-tagatac-love.html

David Whyte's Three Sundays Series on the appropriate shyness of love.

You might appreciate this true story that happened 109 years ago last night, to soldiers two years into WWI. By that time the war had devolved into a brutal trench war standoff, with the first ever warfare use of poison gas, machine guns, tanks, and wide-scale aerial bombing. The most horrendous war ever seen in human history.

This telling was written by John McCutcheon.
