Our guest this week is the poet and arts organizer Sarah Rooney, who, among other things, is the founder of the Speakeasy open-mic series and co-founder of Foray for the Arts.
Sarah talks about their forthcoming poetry collection Ego’s Mythos, Foray’s new status as a nonprofit as well as the uniqueness of the Spokane slam scene.
Along the way, there’s a crash course in poetic techniques and forms, such as pantoum, haibun and ekphrastic poetry.
During the Lightning Round, we uncover an underrated video game and debate the merits of a having golden voice or a silver tongue.
Thanks to our Patreon sponsor-tier member Mel Antuna Hewitt for her ongoing support of ALAYT.
