Appearances

Thank you for your interest in hosting the Oregon Poet Laureate.

To request an appearance, please complete this form. Please allow time for us and the Oregon Poet Laureate to review your request and respond, usually within two weeks. If your request is honored, more details will be shared about hosting the Poet Laureate. Anis’s final term as Oregon Poet Laureate will end in May 2024. Please keep this in mind as you make your request. The new Oregon Poet Laureate will be announced in May 2024 and will begin reviewing appearance requests soon thereafter.

Anis is interested in hearing how you’d like to bring poetry to your community. This could be a traditional poetry reading; it could also be a workshop, opening remarks or poem at a ceremony, an installation, an interactive public engagement experience, or another meaningful activity for your organization and community. Please share your ideas in the request form.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Oregon Humanities at oregonpoetlaureate@oregonhumanities.org
