NW Passages: The Spring Lineup

By: EMILY HARRIS | Wednesday: January 20th 2010

Our series of interviews with Pacific Northwest authors continues with a wonderful lineup of guests over the next several months. Pick up a book now and join the conversations!

You can click on the show dates to find more information and comment now. Next we're looking for good summer reads. Suggestions welcome!

  • Jan 21: Newbery Award-winning children's author Cynthia Rylant and papercut illustrator Nikki McClure on their recent All In A Day collaboration.
  • Feb 11: Fisher Poets. Guests TBA.
  • March 4: Poet and Reed professor Crystal Williams on race and relationships.
  • March 25: Steampunk novelist Cherie Priest on her award-winning Boneshaker.
  • April 15: Singer/songwriter Willy Vlautin writes novels too!
  • May 6: Sci-fi icon Ursula K. Le Guin.

Cynthia Rylant and Nikki McClure were fascinating, especially Rylant's background and how she became a writer. Rylant inspired me to think about writing differently. As a journalism student I was taught formal methods to submit writing to publishers to be paid money, but now I prefer to write for pleasure, self expression or self education. I enjoyed this show - thank you.
