Salem Arts Festival

I’m surprised at how much poetry activity there is in my corner of the world. The nice part about it is that my poetry friends are busier than me! So, I get to play a supporting role for a change.

Three sets of performers showcased their unique collaborations of words and music at the Salem Arts Festival:

J.D. Scrimgeour and Phil Swanson of Confluence

Jennifer Jean and Sarah Eide of Fishwife Music

Local jazz performer, poet, and my son's music teacher, Betsy Retallack
