Sundog Books and Say the Word poetry group have partnered up to celebrate national poetry month. On Friday, April 5, at 6 pm, the bookstore will feature several local poets and spoken word artists performing original poems, followed by a meet and greet/book signing.
“Poetry is a beautiful and powerful art form that transcends what is and is not socially acceptable and gets to the heart of the human experience.” says founder of Say the Word, Maria Schabla. “There are so many fantastic poets and spoken word artists in this area; I am thrilled that Sundog is providing this beautiful space for them to be able to share their work with the community”.
Sundog Books is a landmark for the beach community of Seaside. Sundog Books was opened in 1986 by Bob and Linda White. They have lovingly created the quintessential friendly neighborhood bookstore. Nestled in the heart of this small beach town, Sundog books is the perfect spot for tourists and locals alike to pick up the latest reads and the great classics. They are also proud supporters of local authors and frequently hold performances and book signings on their front porch. "We are delighted to be hosting the talented local poets of Say the Word for this event and look forward to a great evening!" says owner Linda White.
“Say the Word” is a collective group of poets and spoken word artists dedicated to creating a platform for poets and spoken word artists to perform, encouraging local writers to collaborate and network, and making poetry more viable in the community by hosting monthly open mic nights. The monthly open mic nights occur on the third Wednesday of every month at Buddha Lounge in Blue Mountain Beach, beginning at 9 pm. Poets mostly perform original works, but are also encouraged to share other poems that inspire them.
