Source Weekly

It’s a joy to get to review the wonderful and creative works from Oregon-based poets and then to see them read in person during the reading that follows. To select our winners, we ask the budding writing professionals from the OSU-Cascades MFA program to judge in the first round, followed by a final round of judging from faculty, alumni and other community members in the literary arts. The top winners are then awarded a cash prize, courtesy of the Deschutes Public Library! If you’re a lover of poetry, join us this Thursday, Nov. 17 at the High Desert Music Hall for a live reading with the winners, with a community open mic to follow.
