Join the Lopez Library Thursday, Oct. 30 as we welcome award-winning poet Terry Martin. Martin will be reading from her new book of poems, “The Light You Find,” published in August of this year by Blue Begonia Press.

Her first book of poems, “Wishboats,” won the Judges’ Choice Award at Seattle’s Bumbershoot Book Fair in 2000.

Her second book, “The Secret Language of Women,” was published in 2006. Martin earned a Bachelor of Arts from Western Washington University and a Master of Arts and a doctorate from the University of Oregon. As an English professor at Central Washington University she is the recipient of CWU’s Distinguished Professor Teaching Award and the CASE/Carnegie U.S. Professor of the Year Award.

Her poems, essays and articles have appeared in hundreds of publications and she has edited books, journals and anthologies.

This event will be held next to the fireplace at the library, 6 – 7 p.m.
