Greetings readers,

This week is an exciting one for Ooligan Press. Tonight is our launch party for We Belong in History: Writing with William Stafford. Our friends at the Figures of Speech Reading Series are hosting us at In Other Words Bookstore (14 NE Killingsworth St, Portland, Oregon). Our doors will be open at 7:00 p.m., and we will begin our celebration of Stafford’s life and works at 7:30 p.m.

Our guests of honor this evening are Paulann Petersen and Rosalyn Andronescu, with readings from the fabulous student poets that are included in We Belong in History. Our event will be a showcase of student achievement, a celebration of the teachers who have instructed them, and a tribute to the life, philosophy, and works of William Stafford.

Be sure to join us if you can. Copies of We Belong in History: Writing with William Stafford will be on hand for purchase. Few things in this world are as rare as being able to buy a book directly from those who made it possible. Tonight is your chance.

We are looking forward to celebrating with each and every one of our supporters. Together, we’re all making history!
