PORT TOWNSEND — Tom Aslin, whose books include Sweet Smoke and A Moon Over Wings, and Richard Widerkehr, a poet whose latest book is The Way Home, will share their thoughts tonight in a free reading.
The place is the Northwind Arts Center, 2409 Jefferson St., just off Sims Way, and the reading will start at 7 p.m.
Widerkehr, who holds a Master of Arts from Columbia University, is a prize-winning writer whose poems have appeared in journals including Pontoon, Crab Creek Review and Salt River Review.
He has been a teacher, a case manager at a mental health clinic and a counselor in a hospital mental ward.
Aslin, whose A Moon Over Wings was a finalist for 2009’s Washington State Book Award, is a part-time resident of Port Townsend who aspires to be a full-time resident by December.
While Northwind readings are free, donations are accepted to support the arts center’s mission of connecting the arts to the community.
