LitWatch October: Fishtrap Fireside returns and the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour * Oregon ArtsWatch
"I saw thousands of pumpkins last nightcome floating in on the tide,bumping up against the rocks androlling up on the beaches;it must be Halloween in the sea. - The Pumpkin Tide by Richard Brautigan October is the perfect excuse to share a short and sweet Halloween poem - and rather than offer something spooky from Poe or Yeats, a five-liner from Brautigan holds the ideal energy for the coming month."
"In Eastern Oregon, Fishtrap kicks off the 13th season of the Fishtrap Fireside series on Oct. 3. The evening, sponsored by The Bookloft, will feature readings by Wallowa County writers Zanni Schauffler, poet and Oregon Literary Fellowship recipient; Trilby Shirley, Fishtrap member; and Eliot Treichel, Oregon Book Award winner and author of A Series of Small Maneuvers."
"Fishtrap will also host the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour, presented by Literary Arts, at 7 p.m. Oct. 17, featuring creative nonfiction finalist Becky Ellis, creative nonfiction finalist tina ontiveros, and fiction finalist Charlie J. Stephens. Ellis, Write Around Portland facilitator and author of Little Avalanches, will read from her nominated book along with ontiveros, writer, teacher, bookseller, and author of Rough House;"
