07.20: Matt Love & Tim Sproul
2015-06-16 23:04:40| Powells Books Events Calendar
Matt Love's A Nice Piece of Astoria (Nestucca Spit Press) is a work of creative nonfiction that examines and updates the new and classic stories of Astoria. Blending an eclectic variety of literary genres, including memoir, history, essay, vignette, reportage, guide, criticism, satire, stream of consciousness, meditation, review, commentary, and polemic, A Nice Piece of Astoria tours you through Astoria's beer, bars, taverns, The Goonies, Lewis and Clark, sea lions, rain, salmon, coffee, Vikings, paperboys, professional wrestling, strippers, the Column, the Clatsop County Fair, the Columbia River, gentrification, hipsters, parks, The Ship Report, and his first year in town. Tim Sproul's Newported, a Poetic Field Guide to the Pacific Coast (Nestucca Spit Press) goes where most poetry fears to go — the heart of the real characters, dark bars, and magically dangerous beaches of the Pacific Coast. While firmly rooted in the Oregon Coast, the poems get at formative things, the most universal of our concerns, those people and places from our past and in the moment of right now, that shape us into who we are constantly becoming, for better or worse. Love and Sproul will be joined at the event by author (Lean on Pete) and musician Willy Vlautin.
