He’s at the top of my agenda
November 6th, 2008
Wordstock is this weekend, and while the focus is on John Hodgman, I’m looking forward to seeing William Least Heat-Moon. Pete in Parkrose turned me on to him back when we were young 20-something idealists. I’ve probably read Blue Highways a half dozen times over the years. It’s never gotten old for me. Heat-Moon will be appearing Sunday at 1:30.
As long as you’re there, you’re gonna want to get there early. Oregon’s poet laureate, Lawson Inada, will be reading at 12:30 along with former Lewis & Clark instructor Vern Rutsala. Lawson gave a spectacular reading at Wordstock a couple of years ago. I can’t wait to see him again this time around.
