Special Collections and Archives in Portland, OR is home to the Oregon Poetic Voices Project (OPV), a comprehensive digital archive of poetry readings that complements existing print collections of poetry across the state. With a focus on preserving and sharing the works of local poets, OPV recognizes the importance of poetry in our lives, capturing the power of words that resonate and stay with us.
Supported by IMLS and administered by the Oregon State Library, this project aims to provide a platform for poets like Jessie Clark, a recorded poet from Paisley, Oregon, whose poems can be found in the OPV archive. Through this initiative, Special Collections and Archives celebrates the beauty and significance of poetry, allowing us to carry these lines of verse as cherished totems that bring comfort and joy.
