Authors and journalists
Tiffany Midge,
Rena Priest, and
Betsy Gaines Quammen gather to discuss writing about and to the Western United States. These writers often find themselves retelling, revising, and rewriting recurring narratives about who they are and what it means to live, work, and write in the West where they report on the animals, places, and issues we all care about. Tiffany Midge is a poet and journalist whose work blurs the line between genres and explores identity in the PNW with a sense of humor. Rena Priest’s work spans nonfiction and poetry and celebrates the natural beauty, history, and cultures of the West. Betsy Gaines Quammen is a historian and writer who collects stories to make sense of a place defined by colonization, extraction, rebellion, myth, beauty, and land. Don't miss this reading and conversation on rewriting the West!
