On Wednesday, June 21 at 1:00 PM, the North Bend Public Library will host an author talk featuring poet and writer Barbara Drake and readings from her latest book, Everything Looks Different from the Air, a collection of aerial photographs taken by her father of the Coos Bay-North Bend area and the text and editing completed by Barbara Drake. Barbara graduated from Marshfield Highschool in 1957. She is a Professor of English Emerita from Linfield College and has published numerous works of poetry and nonfiction, including The Road to Lilac Hill and Bees in Wet Weather. Her essay collections, Peace at Heart and Morning Light, were both Oregon Book Award finalists. Barbara’s newly published book, Everything Looks Different from the Air, celebrates her father’s art and her own love of the southern Oregon Coast. This program is part of NBPL’s Summer Reading Program. For more information about this event, contact the library at (541) 756-0400 or email nbservices@northbendlibrary.org.
