The Nature of Words, Central Oregon’s Premier Literary Event, officially started their “long-weekend” of events last night with the Rising Star Creative Writing Competition Awards & Reception. It continues tonight with guest author readings and signings with Karen Karbo, Matthew Dickman, and Sherman Alexie at Bend’s Tower Theatre.

Tomorrow’s (11-6) events include Sherman Alexie Unplugged (which I’ve heard is quite an experience), several guest author workshops, and another reading and signing event this time with Valzhyna Mort, Seth Kantner, Kim Stafford, Jane Kirkpatrick. Workshops and other events continue through the weekend, and the event culminates with a reading by Charles Goodrich and an Open Mic for workshop participants and the community at the Bend Public Library.

Check out the website for the full schedule of events, further details, and pricing.
