01.19: A Ritual to Read Together: Poems in Conversation with William Stafford
2013-12-17 00:35:56| Powells Books Events Calendar
Nearly 20 years after his death in 1993, William Stafford's work, teaching philosophies, and life example continue to inspire, challenge, and sometimes baffle us. How does Stafford affect us as writers, readers, Americans, students, teachers? As poets, how might we honor and test his legacy? A Ritual to Read Together: Poems in Conversation with William Stafford (Woodley Press) takes its name from Stafford's famous poem "A Ritual to Read to Each Other," deliberately re-visioning the original title to reflect the community and diversity in such an anthology. Oregon Poet Laureate Paulann Petersen will moderate an event featuring contributors Tim Gillespie, Kim Stafford, Doug Stone, and Mark Thalman.
