Join Oregon Poets to celebrate “The Grace of Oregon Rain”
What Oregonian hasn't grumbled about too many days of rain and then, in another season, prayed for a good, soaking downpour?. In a rare gathering, thirty of Oregon's premier poets will read at Newport's 60+ Activity Center on Saturday, July 27, between 1 and 4 p.m. to celebrate our rain with their poems from a stunning new collection, "The Grace of Oregon Rain" edited by Alexandra Mason. This spectacular anthology illustrates the metaphorical significance of rain in our daily lives and in Oregon’s history. The rain nourishes our poetic imagination. These poems strive, through metaphor, to clarify the human experience of life in the rain. Our feelings move beyond mere love/hate. At times we grudgingly acknowledge rain’s inconvenience and discomfort, but over all else we glory in its power of renewal. The collection as a whole comprises a remarkable unity that testifies to the Oregon experience. Neither unremittingly cheerful nor gloomy, the poems place us in homes, on city streets, in forests, and on the coastline, acknowledging our interaction with rain in the present and in our common imagined past.
