Scott Smith recently put together a lovely project called Word of Mouth. A couple dozen writers, many in Portland, were asked to create a found poem of sorts out of random conversational snippets and other happenstance sources during the course of one day... (Memorial Day plus a "make-up day" on summer solstice). Writers including Scott, Katrina Arcadia the Rose, Jacob, Bob Seitz, and yours truly gathered at the Red & Black Cafe to read/perform the results. (Well, okay, I cheated because I thought Scott was bringing my poem, so instead I wrote a new one out of conversations around the cafe. Got a few dirty looks for that.) Word of Mouth will join us for Regarding Language at EL-fest on November 3, 2005, at the Heathman Hotel. --Tiffany
