PORT ANGELES — Gayle Kaune, author of the poetry collection All the Birds Awake, and William Mawhinney, whose books include Cairns Along the World, will read their poems in the next North Coast Writers literary reading today.
“I perform poetry to relish the sounds of words: their physical and sensual presence,” Mawhinney has said.
He and Kaune will offer exactly that in the 7 p.m. gathering at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.
As with other North Coast Writers events, admission is free, and all are welcome.
Published works
Kaune, who lives in Port Townsend, has also published Still Life in the Physical World on Blue Begonia Press, as well as a chapbook, Concentric Circles, that won the Flume Press Award.
She’s the co-founder of the Rattlesnake Mountain Writers’ Workshop and has taught afternoon workshops at the Centrum Writers’ Conference.
Mawhinney, director of Port Townsend’s Northwind Arts Center reading series, was named an “Angel of the Arts” by the Port Townsend Arts Commission in 2011. A Port Ludlow resident, he has performed poetry in local retirement homes through the Arts to Elders Program.
