Passages Bookshop

The shop will be closed for the next three weeks, while we head first to New Orleans for the poetry festival (reading with friends from Mexico City on Saturday 4/18), then through Louisiana and Texas for sales calls at half a dozen institutions.

We will reopen on Tuesday, May 5, and will have a Spare Room reading on Thursday the 7th, with Elizabeth Robinson, Valerie Witte, and Jami Macarty. We hope to see you there or here!

In addition to the events on both Saturday and Sunday evenings, this is the first of two weekends of Portland Open Studios. Painter Scott Conary on the 5th floor is participating, and several other artists and businesses will be open with special offerings — see the list attached.

Passages will only be open the first weekend, October 11-12. On Monday the 13th, we'll close for about a month while I hit the road to hawk artist's books all around the West.
