Tess Gallagher, Is, Is Not

It’s been a few years since Tess Gallagher has been to the Readings Gallery and we are pleased to welcome her back to present her latest work of poetry. Is, Is Not reverberates with the inward clarity of a bell struck on a mountaintop and hovers daringly at the threshold of what language can deliver. Guided by humor, grace, and a deep inquiry into the natural world, every poem nudges us toward moments of awe.
Tess Gallagher is the author of eleven books of poetry. She spends time in county Sligo, Ireland, and in her hometown of Port Angeles, Washington. This event is part of the Nature of Writing Series run in partnership with the North Cascades Institute.
