| 10:00am - 11:00am Tony Angell on KUOW Category : General Tune in to KUOW 94.9 FM to hear Tony Angell, author of PUGET SOUND THROUGH AN ARTIST'S EYE, discuss his new book. ... 7:00pm - 8:30pm Tony Angell at Third Place Books Category : General Join Tony Angell, author of PUGET SOUND THROUGH AN ARTIST'S EYE, on November 16 at 7 p.m. at Third Place Books. Puget Sound's rich abundance of life - from mammals to avian - can be attributed to the fact that the region is far more than just a body of water. Edged by an extraordinary range of habitats, this region is visited and occupied year-round by species that are finely tuned to exploit the resources here that are necessary for their survival. Birds are among the most obvious occupants of these communities, and witnessing their dynamic lives has been a source of inspiration for artist and naturalist Tony Angell. Read more |

Read more 7:00pm - 8:30pm David Biespiel at Disjecta, Portland Category : General Join David Biespiel, author of THE BOOK OF MEN AND WOMEN, at Disjeta, Portland, OR, on November 21 at 7 p.m. David Biespiel's energetic language, so varied and musical and precise, is quite unmatched by that of other contemporary poets. The Book of Men and Women is his second collection in the Pacific Northwest Poetry Series, and as always he is the master of the long line, his words strung across its reach as tightly as beads. But new poems in this book explore the intimacies of the shorter line as well and display Biespiel's formal inventiveness and emotional range. The Book of Men and Women addresses our time ... |
