Meet Oregon poets, essayists, novelists, memoirists, editors, and short story writers, and purchase signed copies of their newest books, just in time for holiday giving:

Brian Doyle (The Wet Engine and Mink River) • Kim Stafford (100 Tricks Every Boy Can Do) • Anna Keesey (Little Century) • Sarah Mirk (Oregon History Comics) • Jewel Lansing and Fred Leeson (Multnomah) • Lois Leveen (The Secrets of Mary Bowser) • Brian David Johnson (Vintage Tomorrows) • Dan DeWeese (You Don’t Love This Man and Disorder) • Kristy Athens (Get Your Pitchfork On) • Kelly Rodgers (Cartopia: Portland’s Food Cart Revolution) • Wendy Willis (Blood Sisters of the Republic)

Watch our Oregon Humanities writers and scholars featured in our Bring Your Own videos—a few of them will be at the party and eager to talk to guests.

Share your own thoughts, opinions, and obsessions on the Bring Your Own ideas wall.

Enjoy a warm drink and snack. Coffee provided by Ristretto Roasters.

Plus: take home a free copy of the “Next” issue, and enter a drawing to win books, O. Hm. t-shirts, 

and journals.
