Two Kings and Some Poets

The nice thing about a two-week archive is that it keeps you on your toes. I wrote about a pair of Kings for The Oregonian recently, but by waiting until now to post I made sure that at least one of those articles has drifted into the realm of paid archives (or never was posted online at all). However, for those of you working off of microfiche, look for "Stephen King puts laugh, not scare into audience," which ran in the Living section on Saturday, November 4, 2006.

On November 6, my piece on Portland author Bart King, promoting his new book The Big Book of Girl Stuff (a follow-up to the wildly popular The Big Book of Boy Stuff) at the recently expanded A Children's Place bookstore here in northeast Portland, ran. You can link to the piece here.

And then on Monday, another piece that has yet to make its online debut: the Talk of the Book Town feature on Long Journey, a new collection of poetry by Northwest poets, edited by David Biespiel (who also edits Poetry Northwest and who I featured here). The reading at Broadway Books was a big one, with a number of outstanding poets who also contributed. Standouts: Ursula K. Le Guin. Come on!

So, a nice book worth picking up for the rhyming inclined.
