Portland Lit Crawl: An Evening of Environmental Unknowns

Literary Arts 925 SW Washington Street, Portland, OR, United States

Portland Review and The Accomplices (Entropy, Civil Coping Mechanisms, and Writ Large Press) join Lit Crawl Portland to co-host Unchartable: An Evening of Environmental Unknowns. It is the nature of the human mind to seek, to touch, to understand and occupy vast unknowable terrains, but which of our daily environments resist comprehension?

M. Allen Cunningham

Powell's Books on Hawthorne 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR, United States

From Powell's website: M. Allen Cunningham’s new novel is a masterful work about a family shaped as much by tumultuous world events as by its members' long-kept secrets. Perpetua’s Kin (Atelier26) is a powerful portrait of this nation's violent heritage, our vulnerability to the vastness of our own geography, our chronic restlessness and desire for regeneration through technology, and the impossibility of escaping the history that forms us and, always, demands a reckoning.
