River Talks: What the River Brings
July 26 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
The newly opened O’Brien Memorial library will host the next of its River Talks on Saturday, July 26.
Paulann Petersen and Charles Goodrich, two of Oregon’s most admired poets, will explore the confluence of poetry and the river.
Paulann Petersen was Oregon’s sixth Poet Laureate, has won numerous awards, and is often described as “beloved.” Even the titles of her books suggest why, including Wild Awake, Kindle, and The Voluptuary, among many others.
Charles Goodrich is Oregon’s poet of the earth, and its creatures. He was for twenty-five years a professional gardener before directing the Spring Creek Project, bringing together writers, artists and scientists to explore the intersections of art, environmentalism and ethics.
What the River Brings is the fifth of seven River Talks taking place each month through September. These events are underwritten by a generous grant from Oregon Humanities, and are free and open to the public.
