Weave Me a Crooked Basket Book Launch Event with Charles Goodrich

Join us for the book launch event celebrating the new novel of beloved local writer Charles Goodrich. Charles will share details and excerpts from Weave Me a Crooked Basket, a novel featuring a ragtag troupe of land-defenders in a festival of resistance as they embark on a last-ditch effort to save a way of life on their farm that may disappear forever.

Charles Goodrich is the author of four books of poetry, Watering the Rhubarb, A Scripture of Crows, Going to Seed: Dispatches from the Garden, and Insects of South Corvallis. He is also the author of a collection of essays, The Practice of Home, and has co-edited two anthologies, Forest Under Story: Creative Inquiry in an Old-Growth Forest and In the Blast Zone: Catastrophe and Renewal on Mount St. Helens. Following a long career as a professional gardener and a decade working with the Spring Creek Project, Charles writes and gardens at his home near the confluence of the Marys and Willamette Rivers. Weave Me a Crooked Basket is his first novel.

This event is free and open to everyone. It is co-sponsored by the Spring Creek Project, the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library, and Grass Roots Books & Music. Grass Roots will have copies available for sale.
