Oregon’s new Poet Laureate, Paulann Petersen, will give a program, “Poetry is Everyone’s Domain�, illuminated by Portland artist Barbara Mason’s intaglio prints. Barbara’s twelve solar plate prints titled “Bilingual light� are downright dazzling and perfectly accompany the poet’s talk, which begins at 7:00 PM. Writers are encouraged to join in discussions with the award-winning poet who is also an inviting and invigorating teacher.

In celebration of Oregon’s Days of Culture week, music will be provided by the GPHS string quintet, starting at 6:00 PM.
