Description

Oregon Poet Laureate Ellen Waterston will read her own work, as well as writings by other authors, that draw inspiration from the winged victories that the Harney County Migratory Bird Festival celebrates. According to Waterston, “In combination, these readings will underscore what we all know: the miracle these migrations represent and the work we all have to do to ensure they continue.”

Award-winning poet and author Ellen Waterston has dedicated herself to writing and advocating for the literary arts in the high desert region of Oregon, all the while continuing to write poetry and nonfiction works that have evolved into essential reading about Oregon and the West. She has published four poetry and four literary nonfiction titles, including, most recently, We Could Die Doing This (2024) and Walking the High Desert (2020) and is founder of the Writing Ranch and of the annual Waterston Desert Writing Prize. 2024 was a banner year for Waterston who, that year, received Soapstone’s Bread and Roses Award, the Stewart H Holbrook Award and was named the eleventh Poet Laureate of Oregon.
