University hosts celebration of life, poetry of William Stafford Thursday
The university’s Center for Peace and Justice has collaborated with the Friends of William Stafford to bring several notable poets, including the current and former poet laureates of Oregon, a documentary film maker, and our very own Ed Higgins to the Newberg campus Thursday, Jan. 13, to honor the life and work of this beloved Oregon poet who strove to promote peace and justice through his creativity.
Thursday’s events are free and open to the public. There is no registration required. The day begins with a screening of Haydn Reiss’s new documentary on Stafford, Every War has Two Losers, featuring a discussion with Reiss himself afterward. The event closes at the Coffee Cottage with a musical performance by Bill Joliff and Seth Martin.
