Upcoming PDX Events
September Lit Salon: Guilty Pleasure Reads & A Balanced Literary Diet
Join us for our September Literary Salon at Sunblossom Farm
This month, we’re exploring “Guilty” Pleasure Reads & A Balanced Literary Diet. From late-night plot twists to books that take real effort, we’ll look at why we feel forced to choose between fun reads and hard ones, and why we should probably be making room for both.
Walk & Talk, Mt. Tabor Park: Land by Maggie O’Farrell
Join fellow Maggie O’Farrel fans for a walk through Mt Tabor & casual conversation about her latest novel Land. Coffee & tea provided.
August Lit Salon: The Stories We Inherit
Join us for our August Literary Salon at Sunblossom Farm
This month, we're exploring Inherited Stories: Family, Ancestors, and the Threads That Connect Us. Together, we'll consider what happens when a text looks across generations. How do family histories, inherited stories, and ancestral legacies shape the characters we become? What can literature teach us about memory, belonging, and the people who came before us?
July Lit Salon: Love to Hate Them, What Unlikable Characters Teach Us
Join us for our July Literary Salon at Sunblossom Farm
This month, we're discussing What Unlikable Characters Teach Us. We'll explore the protagonists, antiheroes, and messy characters we can't stop thinking about, and what our complicated relationships with them reveal about us.
