ACE Writing Project with Ryan Scariano

March 17, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us for an online reading with La Grande poet, Ryan Scariano.

Ryan is the author of two poetry collections, Smithereens (Imperfect Press) and Not Your Happy Dance (Finishing Line Press). He lives in La Grande and works at Eastern Oregon University.

“Where else—but in Ryan Scariano’s Not Your Happy Dance—might we find an irresistible love poem about a sweetheart canning dill pickles? Where else might another beguiling poem praise that same woman by feting her delight-dance, her ‘goofy little rumpus?’ In the infectious music of Scariano’s poems, a lilac has ‘loamy eyes’; sugar ants are ‘little seasonal keystrokes’; and vinegar can ‘inhale summer’s glow / and exhale that long amber breath.’ Wending through this collection, each reader can be the lucky traveler who makes the claim that ‘Muse Road snuck up / out of the fog / and kissed me.'”  –Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita

The event will conclude with a community open mic. The moderator will take sign-ups beginning at 6:45 PM on a first-come basis (limit 10 readers each with a 5-minute reading limit).

Virtual: Live via Zoom. The link is posted below.
