Record Your Own Poetry Moment

With Spokane Public Radio

A Get Lit! Festival event where participants can record their own reading of a poem to possibly appear on Spokane Public Radio.

Have you ever dreamed of being on the radio? Do you crave an audience for your poetry, or do you have a favorite poem that you wish the whole world had read? Look no further, because the Get Lit! Festival is thrilled to announce our partnership with Spokane Public Radio’s Poetry Moment! 

You may have heard SPR’s Poetry Moment on KPBX, which airs every weekday at 9am and provides an outlet for the creatives of Spokane, and a daily dose of poetry for all listeners. We’re offering all festivalgoers a chance to record their own Poetry Moment in the Podcast Studio at Central Library! Poetry Moment readers will be welcome to share a poem by their favorite poet, or read their own work. Readers will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to show up early to form a line. Please make sure to read the guidelines here before you arrive. Don’t miss the chance to share a Poetry Moment on the airwaves!

For an example, please check out EWU alum Heather Paul-Tillery reading a poem by EWU alum Sarah Kersey.

This event is free and first-come, first-served.

You can learn more about the Get Lit! Festival on their website. 

By attending library programs, you are agreeing to potentially appear in photos/videos taken at our locations that may be used in promotional materials including social media.
