The “Uncensored” Gaze

American Legion Post 134 2104 NE Alberta St, Portland, OR, United States

If the "Untold" story was too R-rated to be read at the gallery... or on the radio... or at Powell's... its time has come! TEN of our authors will be reading their amazing - over-sexed, foul-mouthed, squirm-inducing, or otherwise just too damn "adult" - stories. Reading will be: Stephen Arndt, Liz Asch, Doug Chase, David Ciminello, Sean Davis, Dian Greenwood, Sara Guest, Robert Hill, Lisa Kaser, and Kevin Meyer... and maybe a surprise or two...?

Oregon Wildland Firefighting: A History

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

Over the past century, some of the world's largest wildland fires have occurred in Oregon. Accidentally set by a disgruntled cook on an English ship, the Great Fire of 1845 displaced multiple tribes and boiled wildlife alive in the Columbia River. The Tillamook Burn started up every 6 years from 1933 to 1951 and incited one of the largest reseeding efforts in the world. The Long Draw Fire of 2012, the state’s largest in over 150 years, began as a small spark and raged into an ocean of flames thousands of acres wide. In Oregon Wildland Firefighting (History Press), veteran wildland firefighter Sean Davis shares harrowing firsthand accounts that illustrate what it takes to battle an inferno.

Returned veterans are becoming writers and artists. And American stories are changing.

Each shows how someone who has seen too much death can recover into life.
