Reading Local Seattle

{ David Biespiel at Open Books, 11-5 }

David Biespiel a well-regarded Northwest poet from Portland and former editor of Poetry Northwest, reads at Open Books in Wallingford from his fourth collection, The Book of Men and Women at 7:30 p.m. Of the collection, Chelsea wrote, “”Biespiel has a gift for transformation . . . he can make a command sound like an incantation. He can create psalm-like beauty from the repetition of a simple phrase . . . one must note the instances of raw brilliance.”

Poetry Northwest has recently returned to Washington State to be edited by Kevin Craft.
