Jorah is currently serving as the lead Writer in Residence at Wordcrafters in Eugene in which she has the opportunity to help others experience the power of being seen/heard, and to promote the arts as tools of social change, and community building. Her newest book, “Words for Gratitude: A Quartet of Spoken Word Poems,” will be released this November.
Jorah ran the Eugene Poetry Slam from 2006 to 2019, which gifted her with a wealth of stage hosting experience and a front row seat to the recitation of thousands of original poems. She is left forever convinced that: 1) Live performance is, literally, magical. 2) Being vulnerably honest with willing strangers is medicinal for everyone involved. 3) Pain tastes best when it is sprinkled with humor, liberally.
