ABOUT JORAH:

Passionate, insightful, and dynamic, Jorah LaFleur is a spoken word poet whose primary focus on stage is the formation of an intimate human connection with the audience. Over the decade, Jorah has performed in poetry showcases, classrooms, clubs, plays, poetry slams, open mics, and at festivals; always hoping to inspire and educate as well as entertain. She champions the use of spoken word as a means for making social commentary, and as a tool for personal growth.

Many of Jorah's poems fuse the personal and the political, while others explore mythological, psychological and spiritual themes. Sometimes she just plays with words and makes rhymes. In addition to performing, Jorah is deeply committed to cultivating opportunities for others to access and express their own poetic voice. She is currently the host of the Eugene Poetry Slam.
