PORTLAND! I’m performing poems tomorrow night (7/18) for the first time in a long time and would love to see you there! Please share this with anyone you know who’ll be in town. 💛

Free, masks required + provided
Bishop & Wilde bookstore (1st floor of Tin House)
7pm-8:30pm
Flyer. Ariana Brown reading in the city of roses, a poetry show in Portland, Oregon. Friday July 18th, 2025. 7pm-8:30pm at Bishop and Wilde. 2601 NW Thurman. Event is free. Masks are required and provided. Flyer. A rare live poetry show with Ariana Brown. For more than a decade, Ariana Brown toured across the country performing at over 200 colleges. The COVID-19 pandemic drastically curtailed her shows, especially as she is immunocompromised. Thus, this event is an incredibly rare opportunity to watch Ariana perform in person, and is only possible with every attendee masking during the show.

Sana Sana is “my greatest hits” of poetry because it’s all my favorite spoken word poems of mine to perform. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s bought a copy, taught it in their classrooms, and kept it in print! It means the world to me. www.arianabrown.com/sana-sana
