    Hello Paul,

    I am interested in being a reader/workshop leader at Cascadia in Anacortes, particularly given that an old friend is reading there. William O’Daly and I have co-featured at readings in Sacramento and Davis, California, and appeared in radio interviews in Los Angeles. Additionally, my last book, Gone to Gold Mountain, which is very much centered on a social justice theme involving 19th century Chinese immigrant labor, was nominated for both a Washington State Book Award and an American Book Award. During the past year I’ve given two very successful persona poem workshops in Kirkland and Tacoma, and would be willing to do the same at Cascadia in addition to a reading.

    If you need more information from me, please let me know.

    Best,
    Peter Ludwin

    I see we haven’t missed it and will try to attend. Definitely.

    Paul, is there a book fair associated with this event? If so, we would like to be part of it.

Matt Trease Interview (The Outside)

A couple years back I steered a kayak over the stone remnants believed to be of that dammed weir and felt the tears of Southwind and his grandmother that broke the spell of ice and separation. In a moment I felt that wheel turning me, releasing the grief over my own people, still a mystery to me from centuries of migrations, of imperial assimilation, erased by the cold wind of empire and science and the myriad attempts to dam up the natural world with standardized time, supply chains, and rows and rows and rows of repeatable little boxes we stuff our brains and bodies into.
