Greetings, readers:

Sorry to have been away for so long, but the holiday snuck right up on us! And I hear that there is another one coming. Now that we’re back, we are ready to rock n’ roll right through December. For starters, we have a great event opportunity planned for the new year: we will be hosting a celebration of William Stafford and our students at In Other Words on January 7 at 7 p.m. Oregon Poet Laureate Paulann Petersen and a few of our students will be present to share their poetry with you. And, hey, if you’re one of our student poets reading this right now, feel free to drop us an e-mail if you want to be a part of any future events.

This week, my group and I are gearing up for our promotions and sales push. We’ve designed posters and a fabulous selection of buttons to give away at our upcoming events, and we are very excited to work with our media partners, Paulann Petersen, Kim Stafford, and all of our wonderful student writers. Because we all belong in history, don’t you think?
