NBPL release – On Thursday, July 27 at 6:00 PM, the North Bend Public Library will host a workshop with writer, teacher, and poet Annis Cassells. During this workshop, she will discuss the genesis of the book, ENOUGH “Say Their Names…” Messages from Ground Zero to the World. Published in 2020, this collection of poetry and prose was created in response to the multiple protests of police violence in the United States. Annis will discuss her involvement with the book and the reactions the book has raised. Participants in this workshop will also engage in discussion about the nature and reason for protest, concluding with a time set aside for mindful writing and reflection.

Her poems have appeared in Snapdragon Journal, Mom Egg Review, and Rigorous Magazine, and were also featured in ENOUGH “Say Their Names…” Messages from Ground Zero to the World.
