Author Liz Prato to Discuss Generation X at Cannon Beach Library

Northwest author Liz Prato is from Generation X, that population born between 1965 and 1980. It’s a generation, she says in her book, “Kids in America: A Gen X Reckoning,” that received many labels.
“We were called latchkey cynical lazy sarcastic flighty disaffected alienated easily-distracted late blooming self-involved aimless apathetic skeptical pessimistic self-medicating impatient angry uncommitted won’t-grow-up purposeless unreliable slackers,” Prato writes.
Gen X also was the last generation to live without fear of being gunned down in school, she notes.
Prato will discuss her book at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21 in the Cannon Beach Library. The free talk is part of the library’s NW Authors Series.
This is a hybrid event, available in person at the library or online via the library’s website: cannonbeachlibrary.org (click the banner at the top of the page). Masks are required at the author’s request.
Prato’s writings cleverly blend memoir and cultural critique and have been described as poetic, vivid and compelling. Her previous book, “Volcanoes, Palm Trees, and Privilege: Essays on Hawai‘i” was named a “top summer travel read” by the New York Times and was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award.
She is the author of the short story collection “Baby’s on Fire”; her stories and essays have appeared in dozens of literary journals and magazines.
Prato teaches writing, has guest lectured at several workshops and conferences, and is the
editor at large for Forest Avenue Press. She lives in Portland, and enjoys small presses, indie bookstores, community and palm trees.

Writers Read Deadline is Friday, Jan. 20: Hemingway Awaits!

It’s time to polish those entries for the Writers Read Celebration sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library. The deadline is Friday, Jan. 20.
Here’s the original news release and flyer for the event:
Suppose novelist Ernest Hemingway arrived at the Oregon coast and wanted to write about his experience in a maximum of 600 words. What would he write?
This year’s Writers Read Celebration, sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library, asks that question with the theme, “Hemingway at the beach: What Would He Say?”
Writers of all ages from all areas are invited to consider how or what Hemingway would say while at the beach. All written formats will be considered (essay, story, poetry, haiku, script, etc.) Authors are limited to three entries with a 600-word maximum per entry. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 20.
A panel of volunteer judges will select 10 to 12 works to be read by their authors either in person or online during the celebration March 10 in the library.
Hemingway wrote about his experiences using as few words as possible, and his novels and short stories have become classics. The Writers Read Celebration offers an opportunity to have fun with this writing style in any form; the piece can be serious, whimsical, tongue-in-cheek or thoughtful.
Submissions will be accepted by email at info@cannonbeachlibrary.org) or by mail (P.O. Box 486
Cannon Beach, OR 97110), though email is preferred.
Submissions should be in Word or PDF format and include a cover letter with the writer’s name, email and phone number. Please do not include the author’s name or contact information on the entry
document so authors remain anonymous during the judging process.
The NW Authors Series Committee sponsors monthly author presentations and other events at the Cannon Beach Library. This is the fifth year of the Writers Read Celebration. Previous themes were: “Life on the North Coast,” “The View from the North Coast,” “Pandemic” and “Recovery?.” Writers Read Celebrations on Zoom from 2022 and 2021 are available for viewing on Cannon Beach Library’s website.

For sale Maytag Neptune washer and dryer

Maytag Neptune washer and dryer in good working condition. Both are clean and have no mold or mildew. The washer is not as quiet on the spin cycle as it used to be, but has no leaks and still has life in it. The dryer is excellent, has been cleaned, and works perfectly. I just finished the last load of clothes. I have a van and can move them locally, if you have some muscle to lift them. $200 for the pair. Wheeler.

$10 suggested donation

This week: guided and free-form/ecstatic dance
Theme is nourishing.
offered by Libby Golden , Integrative Nutrition Health Coach / Bodyworker / Dancing For Birth™ Trainer

Restore, reflect, warm, envision:

Wearing dark colors, black or dark blue, join us to honor our need for movement within the seasonal wisdom of nourishing our deepest yin energies in the water element.

30 minutes / reflective meditation, healing movements that address yin restoration and a group circle dance fostering gentle connection to balance these dark times that can feel isolating.

30-45 minutes / ecstatic dance to yin nourishing music following our individual bodies while and inviting movements we just went over with final moments intended for laying on the floor, so bring a yoga mat if you wish to have a buffer. I’ll have two extra if there’s need.

Spring energies are coming, so taking the time to deeply nourish while the season is still present will help us be ready when spring waves arise.
