Every year for the past several years in January all across Oregon Friends of William Stafford hold poetry readings. We filmed our third Stafford poetry event at Nicholson Library on the Linfield College Campus. A one hour TV show we will take to McMinnville Community Media tomorrow. I like the Stafford Celebration readings because I get to hear different folks read Stafford's poems and their own work.
Here in Yamhill County the Arts Alliance of Yamhill County has sponsored the Paper Gardens Writing Contest for children and adults. This is its 19th year. William Stafford was the first judge of Paper Gardens.
Next I'll edit the individual poet readings. A one hour show is okay for Community Media TV, they are desperate for local content, and we are happy to be able to provide it. But shorter individual poet readings is much better for the internet.
