SARAH BETH GUMM – Poet
Bio: Sarah recently graduated from Whitworth University. She has been involved in the Spokane poetry scene for about two years now, first as a listener and then as a performer. The things she can talk about for literal hours include: tea, Firefly, feminism, Doctor Who, and history. She loves hugs and will gladly give you one if you ask.
Talk to us a bit about community, about yourself as an artist, and about PorchFest, please…
“One of the things that compels me most about music and poetry is the chance to hear other people’s stories and, in turn, share my own in a creative fashion. Jesuit Priest Anthony De Mello once wrote “You have yet to understand, my friends, that the shortest distance between a human being and truth is a story.” I feel, community, as with truth, is quickest reached through story. The discussion of what makes us different and what unites us. Porches are the perfect place to tell and hear stories. So I hope everyone comes out to enjoy the end of summer, meet cool people, and enjoy some of the diverse voices Spokane has to offer.”
