The Spoken Word: Poetry Recitations by James Hipsher!
Invite me to recite poems for you, all from Memory! I am a Volunteer, and I am happy to do this as a community service. My program is flexible in length. You’ll hear famous poets such as R.Kipling, W. Shakespeare, Robert Service, Emma Lazarus, Robert Frost, Ella W. Wilcox, Anonymous and my own. All tasteful for any audience. I am the winner of many Poetry Slams, including 2012 Pacific University’s “Best Performance”, and I love the spoken word! Many poems are suitable for HOLIDAYS too-for example, I’ve recited from Shakepeare’s Romeo and Juliet for Valentine’s Day.

Words of Praise for James Hipsher:
“I just wanted to write to you and give you a review of James Hipsher and his recent poetry recital at Canfield Place. Our residents really loved his performance! One resident commented that he “brought the words to life”. We will definitely be having him back! He was a great communicator, punctual, and respectful. “ Corene P., Canfield Place in Beaverton
“We recently had Jim Hipsher at our facility and I would encourage others to do so. His poetry reciting is very impressive, full of emotion and something very different to offer your residents. Because he came, I learned that one of our residents has also memorized poetry over the years, and Jim really “peaked” his interest - you never know which program will “speak” to someone until you try it. This one is worth trying!” Shirley A. Hearthstone at Murrayhill
Jim Hipsher is an incredible Poetry Reader that needs to be recognized as someone who is not only an expert at captivating audience members with his attention grabbing voice filled with emotional undertones, but also as someone who is always welcome back to Farmington Square Beaverton. Thanks so much, Jim! Corbin B., Farmington Square in Beaverton
“This is to give a good word about Jim her the Poet. He came to our facility (Farmington Square) and gave a presentation that all of our residents enjoyed. He was very friendly to all and his poems were wonderful. Thank You.” Grace G., Farmington Square in Beaverton
“Last week The Heights at Columbia Knoll had the great honor to welcome James Hipsher as a speaker and presenter of poetry. What a pleasure! Our residents were entertained with not just the poetry but interesting facts as well about writers, styles of writing, and history. He presented for over an hour and everyone commented about the great speaker we had. When he arrived he walked through the crowd introducing himself and making conversation. What a charming gentleman! Thanks Pam for your recommendation to invite him. I’m so very glad that I did. It was certainly a highlight of our week.” Sincerely, Maril R., Activities Director,The Heights at Columbia Knoll
“I would like to recommend Jim Hipsher for Elder Audience. Jim has been coming to the Rose Schnitzer for many years. He reads poetry from memory which allows him to really get into the stories and become animated. Our residents really look forward to his performances. He is very caring and friendly to our residents. He is wonderful if what you are looking for is a great story teller/poetry reading event. “ Mary D., Life Enrichment Coordinator Rose Schnitzer Manor at Cedar Sinai Park
