Thurs 12/6/18: Book-Flood Reading at Seattle’s Nordic Museum

Thanks to the Seattle-Reykjavik Sister City Association, in collaboration with the Seattle City of Literature, I’ll be sharing some of my Iceland-inspired rune poems for a Book-Flood celebration at the Nordic Museum in Ballard (2655 NW Market St, Seattle), on Thursday, December 6th. Event begins 6:00 p.m., I'll kick off the readings starting promptly at 6:30 p.m., along with fellow readers D.A. Navoti, Andy Meyer, anthropologist Margaret Wilson, and inaugural 2015–2016 Seattle Youth Poet Laureate Leija Farr. All ages. Admission is FREE for First Thursday.

PLUS this event is a benefit for Seattle's emergency shelter Mary's Place for women, children, and families. Everyone is encouraged to bring a book to donate (new or gently used children’s book or a paperback) as part of the benefit drive. You can bring your book donations to the reading and drop off in the museum gift shop, OR you can drop off books to the gift shop anytime during regular museum hours between 12/1 and 12/16.

There will also be a Pop-Up Book-Flood Bookshop inside the Nordic Museum 12/1-12/9 as part of the Book-Flood celebrations. My book The Lachrymose Report (PoetryNW Editions) will be available for sale there in good company, if you are looking for a gift for someone, or a new book for you to help get you through the winter.
