July Author Events
Poet & Writer CAROLINE GOODWIN ~ Sunday, July 15th at 6pm
Caroline will read from her poetry collection, THE PAPER TREE, as well as from new works. A brief q&a will follow.
The poems in The Paper Tree are redolent in sound and rich in the details of place. Caroline Goodwin deeply knows these landscapes of which she writes, goat hair and fireweed and cedar. She spins words with such velocity and cunning that the poems weave a spell. One arrives out the other side wild with rainwater and moss, mussel shells and lupine. This is not a collection to read once, but to savor and return to again and again.
– Erin Coughlin Hollowell, author of Pause, Traveler
