If you happen to be around Portland this coming Sunday from 1pm to 3 pm, I’m nudging you (gently) to come on over to Rose City Book Pub to hear some rather fantastic writers read their stuff. Writers are all part of the Atheneum cohort at the Attic Institute in Portland, a program that’s been motivating me over the last 8(ish) months to birth a new collection of essays. I’ll be reading one of those essays on Sunday alongside a team of talented others.
On Wednesday, June 5th, 4pm to 6pm PST, I plan to resurrect my bi-weekly Freeform Portland radio show, Bachelard’s Panty Drawer - a blend of musings, music, and interviews. Sharyll Burroughs will be joining me for a three part series on iconoclasts (focusing on the life and work of Howlin’ Wolf, George Clinton, and Alice Coltrane) June 21st, July 5th, and July 19th.
Free Periphery sensory workshops will be happening at various locations this summer. The next one on June 19th is all about the nose and how to use it. Details here.
