SUMMARY:William Stafford
DESCRIPTION:Happy Birthday to William Stafford. Celebratory readings are held during Stafford’s birthday month\, January\, in Oregon and the nation\, in honor of the late poet. Stafford taught for many years at Lewis and Clark College and was a beloved and influential Oregon Poet Laureate from 1975 through 1989. We are looking forward to highlighting Stafford’s work through our three featured readers: Armin Tolentino\, David A. Goodrum\, and William Stafford biographer Steve Paul.\nThere will be a Open Mic to follow—we encourage you to bring your favorite Stafford poems to share!\n\n\n\nArmin Tolentino is the author of the poetry collection We Meant to Bring It Home Alive (Alternating Current Press) and co-author of the children’s book Mythwakers: The Manananggal (Hope Well Books). He served as poet laureate for Clark County\, WA from 2021-2023.\n\nDavid A. Goodrum is the author of the recently released chapbook Abrupt Edges (Bass Clef Books)\, the poetry collection Vitals and Other Signs of Life (The Poetry Box\, 2024)\, and the chapbook Sparse Poetica (Audience Askew\, 2023). Born\, raised\, and educated in Indiana\, he now resides in Corvallis\, Oregon. David’s poetry has appeared in Tar River Poetry\, Skylight 47\, Tampa Review\, The Orchards Poetry Journal (which recently gave his poem “Flurries” a Pushcart Nomination)\, and many others. He is the current president of the Oregon Poetry Association. Discover more at davidgoodrum.com.\n\n\nSteve Paul was a newspaper book-review editor when he first crossed paths with William Stafford in the late 1980s. Ten years ago\, after retiring from a career in daily journalism\, he steered his writing practice into literary biography. First came his slice-of-life Hemingway at Eighteen (2017)\, followed by Literary Alchemist: The Writing Life of Evan S. Connell (2021). Five years ago\, his focus turned to Stafford\, and he began mining the poet’s vast archives\, interviewing dozens of family\, friends\, and fellow writers\, and gathering a bounty of material from libraries coast to coast. His full-length biography is expected to be published in 2027 by Oregon State University Press. A New England native\, Steve has lived in Kansas City\, Missouri\, for more than half a century. He serves as president of Biographers International Organization\, a non-profit with a membership of about 600 authors.
