Going down to Portland…
Hey Portland-area friends, if you aren’t doing anything Wednesday night, head out to see me read with Marvin Bell and Josh Stuart at the Central Library. Details:
Where: Portland, Oregon
Central Library, 801 SW 10th Avenue, in the US Bank Room (1st floor.)
When: Wednesday night at 6:30 – early – and they’re selling books before the reading, rather than after, since we have to be out of the library by 8 PM
With Who? Jeannine Hall Gailey, Joshua Stuart and big star poet Marvin Bell
Got back last night around 9 PM after a ten-hour round trip to visit my friends and workshop on the island (really, the Kitsap peninsula.) The poetry and hanging out with bar food appetizers afterwards was worth the grueling drive/ferry trip/ferry lines.
Jeannine Hall Gailey served as the second Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington and the author of Becoming the Villainess, She Returns to the Floating World, Unexplained Fevers, The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, and winner of the Moon City Press Book Prize and SFPA’s Elgin Award, Field Guide to the End of the World. Her latest, Flare, Corona from BOA Editions, was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. She’s also the author of PR for Poets, a Guidebook to Publicity and Marketing. Her work has been featured on NPR’s The Writer’s Almanac, Verse Daily and The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Poetry, and JAMA.
