Event Details

Writer Tess Gallagher
Foothills Writers Series
Summary: We are happy to welcome to our stage our own Port Angeles celebrity. She will introduce two books to us, her own book of collected short stories, The Man from Kinvara: Selected Stories (Graywolf Press), and Raymond Carver’s American Library Edition, The Collected Stories. The book Beginners, which includes stories newly restored to Carver’s original manuscripts, is contained in this volume. A well-loved figure on our local scene, Gallagher continues to bring her work and that of her late husband throughout the world, with new translations appearing regularly. In both short story and poem, Gallagher’s work is some of the best being written in English today. Joyce Carol Oates writes that “It is impossible to read Tess Gallagher’s poems without being drawn into their mesmerizing rhythms and convinced of the rightness of her intense yet unforced images.” October 8 will be a great day of celebration for the Olympic Peninsula.
