Every tattoo tells a story, whether the ink is meaningful or the result of a misguided decision made at the age of 14. Isaac Fitzgerald and Wendy MacNaughton's Pen and Ink (Bloomsbury) grants us access to the tattoos and the stories behind them — of writers and ordinary people alike. Fitzgerald and MacNaughton will be joined by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Pen and Ink's introduction.

2014-04-16 00:35:00| Powells Books Events Calendar

Welcome three of Portland's most talented authors as they discuss books near and dear to their hearts that have long languished out of print and are now available again through Pharos Editions: The Lists of the Past, a technically mesmerizing collection of stories by Julie Hayden; The Tattooed Heart and My Name Is Rose, two emotionally charged literary novels by Theodora Keogh; and Crazy Weather, an American Indian coming-of-age tale by Charles McNichols that serves as "an important document in our cultural history." Cheryl Strayed, Lidia Yuknavitch, and the legendary Ursula K. Le Guin will explore the history, context, and reasons they chose to introduce these titles and help bring them back to readers once more. The panel discussion will be moderated by editor-in-chief of Bitch Media Kjerstin Johnson. This event is sponsored by Bitch Media: Feminist Response to Pop Culture. Please note: Signed copies will be signed by the title's respective curator and not by the original author.

04.17: Krista Bremer in Conversation with Cheryl Strayed

2014-03-18 00:36:16| Powells Books Events Calendar

Fifteen years ago, Krista Bremer would not have been able to imagine her life today: married to a Libyan-born Muslim, raising two children with Arabic names in the American South. Nor could she have imagined the prejudice she would encounter or the profound ways her marriage would change her perception of the world. Captivating, moving, and often funny, this meditation on tolerance explores what it means to open our hearts to another culture and embrace our own. My Accidental Jihad (Algonquin Books) chronicles Bremer's struggle to reach beyond herself. Bremer will be joined in conversation by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail.
