Writer / editor Shannon Applegate is the author of “Skookum: An Oregon Pioneer Family’s History and Lore” (Oregon Book Award Finalist, named one of Oregon’s 100 Best Books) and “Living Among Headstones: Life in a Country Cemetery,” and co-editor, “Talking on Paper: Oregon Letters and Diaries.” Recipient of a Governor’s Arts Award, researcher into regional history, a descendant of one of Oregon’s earliest pioneer families, she directs Applegate House Heritage Arts and Education in Yoncalla. Shannon reads from final revisions of “Minus Tides,” a gripping novel of coastal Oregon, which portrays environmental disruption and political turmoil as they reshaped lives of native peoples, immigrants, and settlers, from World War I to the 1970s.
OPA poet Donna Henderson is the author of four collections–two (“Transparent Woman” and “The Eddy Fence”) were Oregon Book Award finalists. She loves artistic collaboration and cross-genre creative projects, especially involving music. Her poems, song lyrics, essays, reviews, and artwork appear in journals, anthologies, exhibits and recordings, and her ongoing series of reflective essays, “Are You With Me Here?” is on Substack. A practicing psychotherapist, Donna lives in Maupin, Oregon. She reads from her new book, “Send Word” (summer 2022, Riparian Press). These poems explore varieties of cleaving and their tensions: between our feral and civil selves, compliance and transgression, connection and individuation, worlds of waking and dreaming.
