FOUR FISHERPOETS: What Water Holds
KALA is going to be awash with words when four talented Fisher Poets share the stage on October 21st. Tele Aadsen, Clemens Stark, Holly Hughes, and Jon Broderick are familiar names for patrons of the Gathering, and this event offers a glimpse of all the annual fisherpoetry goodness to come in February.
Three originators of Fisherpoets are coming together to help fellow poet Tele Aadsen celebrate the release of her new book, What Water Holds, a collection of essays written in the decade between 2012 and 2023 for the Gathering. What Water Holds is born of FisherPoets, Aadsen said. This book wouldn't exist without this community. Jon, Clem, and Holly have all been generous mentors and sources of inspiration. I'm honored to share this evening together in the ever-magical KALA, no less. I can't wait to be in their audience.
Each of the four poets plan to read for 10-12 minutes before returning to the stage in conversation with the audience to discuss voice, craft, and what it means to write about labor, as well as other topics suggested by the audience. While FisherPoets packed schedule can leave participants a little breathless as they to race from performer to performer, this is a rare opportunity to slow down with more time for an intimate conversation.
Saturday, Oct. 21 at 7:30pm. Doors open at 7pm. Full Bar. General Seating. Tickets $10 in advance, $13 at the door. 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria. 503.338.4878
