On Tuesday, March 3, our lunch speaker will be Oregon Poet Laureate, Ellen Waterston.
|
In 2024, Waterston was named to a two-year term as Poet Laureate of Oregon. Having so far visited twenty-two out of thirty-six counties, she’ll reflect on her first term and the initiative she has underway statewide. Her presentation will also include readings of her work and others, including poems by students she has met during her travels.
For decades Ellen has dedicated herself to writing and advocating for the literary arts in the high desert region of Oregon, all the while writing poetry and nonfiction works that have evolved into essential reading about Oregon and the West. The award-winning high desert author and poet has published five poetry and four literary nonfiction titles. |
