Join poets Carol and Judy as they read poe ms saturated with color from a new anthology\, \;The Color Wheel. It features 117 poems by 117 poets&mdash\;and five are from Oregon. I magine the delirium of yellow as bees take to the flower garden\, or the c ool green of a stream where lovers reconnect. The scarlet of that red dres s daring to wear\, the black dress unbuttoned by the mistress as she drive s home. We invite visual artists as well as writers across the spectrum to join us.
\nJudy (blue/gold/black) and Carol (pink) will read their own poems and a rainbow&rsquo\;s worth of their favorites from the antholo gy. \; They will be happy to talk about writing and how color enriches writing and life in the Q and A afterwards. \; A few copies of \; The Color Wheel \;will be available for purchase\, as well copies of C arol and Judy&rsquo\;s own poetry books. \;
