I am reading today at the Write The Town Poetry Reading (part of the 2018 Paint The Town Art Show); starts at 3 pm at the Elsinore Framing and Fine Arts Galleryin Salem.
This is where the poets of 2018 Paint The Town/Write The Town will verbally share three of their poems written “en plein aire” this summer. – surrounded in Gallery 44 display of paintings, photographs & poems of the PTT show. Refreshments will be provided.
I identify myself as a Pacific Northwest poet. I have been writing poetry since 1976- and yes - I have been using the pen-name Ariel all this time! I can often be found writing in the Willamette Valley, in Pacific forests or along the Coastlines on Oregon.
