Renowned artist, illustrator, sculptor, educator, and author Tony Angell makes this welcome Saturday afternoon visit with his gorgeous new book, Puget Sound Through an Artist's Eye (University of Washington Press). "A wonderful book, as Angell's superlative sculpture and exquisite drawings demonstrate how fine art can build a bridge of understanding to an extraordinary and still wild area ..." - Paul Ehrlich. "To encounter Tony and the plenteous generation of sculptures that have come to cold yet fiery life is literally to see a world in the making ... And so we have, in the mighty circle of work that Tony Angell has bestowed on us across the past four decades, an orb of double importance. An everlasting sense of the Puget Sound country that is nature's blessedly varied kingdom and within that a brilliantly preserved wingdom." - Ivan Doig, from the Foreword. Among Tony Angell's numerous honors are the 2006 International Victoria and Albert Museum Illustration Grant Award and The Nature Conservancy's Oak Leaf Award.

A spirited and lively evening is at hand here tonight as two esteemed local poets, writers, and community sustainers read here this evening. Both Georgia McDade and LaVerne Hall have long given much of themselves to supporting the work of others in various ways over many years—among them the local African-American Writers Alliance, church groups and more. Both have also been making new, now published work of their own. This evening will be a celebration of publication. Georgia McDade has a new book of poems (and 'exclamations'), Outside the Cave (AuthorHouse). Reverend LaVerne Hall, who was one of those involved with The Women of Color Study Bible a few years ago, is here with She (AuthorSolutions), a new book of her own poetry. This should be fun.
