Poetry Reading: anthology Just Imagine: Oregon Horizons

Join us for a poetry reading by local poets from the anthology Just Imagine: Oregon Horizons. This is the second in a series of gorgeous poetry anthologies of work by Oregon poets about their homeland. Here we have work by poets both famous and new in a plethora of forms. From our grand shoreline on the Pacific to our volcano peaks, our lush valleys and bubbling streams, from basalt outcrops to a deep lake caldera and high deserts with colonial wild mustang herds, our impressive waterways including the wide Columbia, and always, our prolific forest lands, poets place us in this environment along with the dreams it carries, from the past and for the future. We do not forget those who came before us, in our Native American sites and place names, in our rutted traces of the Oregon Trail, in our small towns of industriousness and our valued unsettled lands. We recognize our diversity and our western character, independent but socially conscious, closely tied to our places, and joyful in living day by day in its glories and vicissitudes.
