Poetry Moves “Celebration of Poetry”

Poetry Moves, a partnership between Artstra and C-TRAN that puts poetry on buses, will honor poets who have engaged, delighted and inspired bus riders since 2016. This free celebration of poetry will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. Jan. 8 at Magenta Theater, 1108 Main St. in downtown Vancouver. Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest will be the guest of honor and former Clark County Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Morgan (2018-21) will “pass the pen” to current Clark County Poet Laureate Armin Tolentino (2021-24). The afternoon event will include readings from Poetry Moves poets from its past five seasons as well as interpretive dance and music.
