I’m a health coach and studies as a master food preserver through Seattle Tilth. I’m also a home cooking enthusiast. I’d love to share this traditional gut loving skill with you!
Join us for an evening filled with a cozy coffee house atmosphere and the sharing of poetry at the Cannon Beach Gallery from 4:30 to 6:30pm on March 22, 2025.
Oregon poet, novelist, gardener Charles Goodrich and local fisherpoets will gather Saturday, March 22 at the Cannon Beach Arts Association gallery to share original poetry and song in honor of Clem Starck who died at spring equinox in 2024.
Clem’s poetry – lean, honest, vocational – inspired the first FisherPoets Gathering years ago and Clem became a regular, cherished participant. Through his poetry, Clem, too, will join us.
Both Clem and Charles, longtime friends from the rural Willamette Valley, have received Oregon literary awards, published a number of poetry collections, contributed to poetry journals, encouraged writers and been read aloud by Garrison Keillor on the Writer’s Almanac (though Clem didn’t care for Keillor’s version of A Brief Lecture on Door Closers). Probably no one passed more pleasant evenings than Charles at Clem’s farmhouse kitchen table.
Fisherpoets Geno Leech, Jon Broderick, Jay Speakman and Moe Bowstern who each spent many agreeable hours themselves at Clem’s table join Charles to read – or sometimes sing – their own work and Clem’s.

Past midnight
the books we’ve pulled
to praise or to curse, to read aloud
under your gooseneck lamp,
lie piled on the floor
deep as manure…
Charles Goodrich from “Why We Do It, for Clem Stark” in Instects of South Corvallis, Fairweather Books 2003.

~This is a free-flowing dance and movement experience where you are encouraged to dance and enjoy the experience however you’d like with an intention of connecting deeper to yourself and exploring movement without words.
It’s an open space to play, celebrate life and community, practice embodiment modalities, enjoy music, process emotions, connect with others, and ultimately be nourished by the experience on a physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual level. No dance experience necessary~
Dance Etiquette/Tips:
*All are welcome – Family friendly events – Come as you are.
*Dance connections are an option, be clear with your yes or no, verbal or nonverbal.
*Flow toys are welcome!
*Bring a water bottle and layers.
*Bring kindness and respect for yourself and others and your willingness to explore and to dive into the ecstasy of spirit available through movement.
*No outside shoes on the dance floor if possible (dirty floors aren’t fun to roll around on)
*Please no strong scents, including body odor.
*Incense, we’ll keep it in the foyer.
*We ask that you limit talking during the dance set. Set up, break time, and the foyer area are great places to have longer conversations to limit distractions for others.
*We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of each other’s safety and health and stay home if you are not feeling well or have been exposed to someone sick. Follow your own judgment on whether to wear a mask or not.

From shipwrecks to wrack lines, the pieces to be read by Oregon, Washington and Canadian writers explore the meanings and metaphors of “rising tide,” this year’s theme for the library’s annual writing project.
The seventh annual Writers Read Celebration will begin at 7 p.m.; admission is free. People can attend in person at the library, 131 Hemlock St., or online; the link will be on the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.
Fifteen pieces to be read include stories, poems and haikus. Topics include a woman who lifts a whale off the beach, flowers floating from Ukraine, a body to be buried, a morning and evening spent at Haystack Rock and a nod to political currents.
This is the seventh year that the library’s NW Authors Series Committee asked writers from everywhere to submit works on a specific theme. Writers could submit up to three entries in any format limited to 600 words per entry.
Of the 85 entries, the committee, after a blind reading, selected 15 pieces to be read by 13 writers. One of those writers is from Alberta, Canada.
Those invited to read this year were:
John Ciminello, Naselle, WA, poem: King Tides at Cape Disappointment
Deanna Duplechain, Seaside, OR, short story: Seeing Saturday
Christie Ellis, Astoria, flash fiction: All at Sea
Kristi Lund, Nehalem, OR, poem: Heeding the Tide
Mimi Maduro, Cape Meares, OR, haiku, Three Haiku
Colleen Medlock, Portland/Seaside, OR, flash fictions: Shifting Tides and A Light in a Storm
Russell Myers, Vancouver, WA, flash fiction: The Body
Jennifer Nightingale, Astoria, OR, poems: She Knows the Tide is Rising and Gifts from the Wrack Line
Grace Page, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, poem: An Evening Walk to Haystack
Robert Michael Pyle, Gray’s River, WA, poem: All Boats Rise
Florence Sage, Astoria, OR, poem: But Never Mind
Phyllis Thompson, Manzanita, OR, poem: The Tides
Evan Morgan Williams, Portland, OR, flash fiction: The Great Black Shape

Date: Saturday, March 22 from 11 am – 1 pm
Location: Heart of Cartm in Wheeler
———————————————————————
This spring equinox, join me at Heart of Cartm in Wheeler for an afternoon of writing and collaging with found materials. We will sift through discarded treasures and look for meaning — symbols — that we can use to bring our personal stories to life in layered, intentional ways.
What to Expect:
A quiet, relaxing atmosphere to unwind, reflect, and get creative.
Snacks, good conversation, and a warm community.
Guided writing + hands-on collage prompts to help your thoughts flow freely.
Time to share insights and intentions for the year ahead (sharing aloud is always optional).
Takeaway tools to support a reflective writing practice at home.
