The job of Oregon's Poet Laureate is to share poetry with the people of the state, no matter where they are. Like in a pasture, maybe? Exactly that will happen this weekend (September 22nd), when Poet Laureate Anis Mojgani brings his words and talents to Plaisance Ranch in the Applegate Valley.
The ranch-and-winery is the host of "Poetry in the Pasture," and Mojgani shares the bill with Oakland-based musician/poet Nick Jaina and local poet Dot Fisher-Smith.
We talk to Anis Mojgani once again about poetry and encouraging it in Oregon.
And we got a bonus; Anis shared his poem "To The Sea."
