Tonight 1-17: William Stafford Birthday Event at the Writers' Dojo

Today’s Featured Book Event:

William Stafford Birthday Event (Writers Dojo, @7:00pm): On William Stafford’s birthday, Kim Stafford of Lewis & Clark College, and Jeffrey Selin of the Writers’ Dojo, together with William Stafford Writing Fellows Sara Guest and Jeff Coleman, will host a short writing and sharing activity, followed by an exploration of the digital resources now available at the William Stafford Archives at www.williamstaffordarchives.org. Our first goal is to share the new online resources for everyone, and our second goal is to glimpse some resources specifically for teachers.  All are welcome—readers, writers, teachers, neighbors, anyone with an interest.

Other Book Events Today:

Writer’s Mill (Cedar Mill Community Library, @1:00pm): Whether you’re hoping for publication, planning to self publish or writing just for fun, join us for a hands-on inspiring gathering of people who love to write. Newcomers welcome! We meet the 3rd Sunday of the month in the upstairs meeting room. To RSPV, contact Liza Peltola, Facilitator, randyliza[at]verizon.net.

Winter Stitch n Bitch (In Other Words Women’s Books & Resources, @6:00pm): Come hang out at In Other Words and bring along your current knitting project (or whatever you feel like doing for that matter), some tea, a friend, and your snuggie (we’ll crank the heat but it can get chilly in there)! If you don’t know how to knit, but want to learn, try to make it to the first one on the 15th so we can have some pros show you how it’s done. It is IOW, so there will be a donation jar for the event but no one will be turned away!

Daniel H. Pink (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): Daniel H. Pink, the author of the groundbreaking bestseller A Whole New Mind, is back with Drive (Riverhead), a paradigm-changing examination of how to harness motivation to find greater satisfaction in life. This book of big ideas discusses the surest pathway to high performance, creativity, and well-being.
