PBF PassNovember 4, 2023 @ 11:15 am - 11:35 am
Portland Art Museum
Charity E. Yoro pops-up for a reading in the Portland Art Museum galleries with her poetry collection ten-cent flower & other territories.
Yoro is paired with the artwork In Slow Motion by Charles Tatum; found in the Black Artists of Oregon exhibit, on the 2nd floor of the Portland Art Museum.
“Charity Yoro’s poems astonish—carefully wrought yet equally wild. Navigating the tensions between beauty, commodity and place, they perform a richly textured quick-step that is bold, sly, funny, tender, fierce.” — Michele Glazer, author of Oregon Book Award Finalist fretwork
