Northwest Poets
Martha Silano & B.T. Shaw

 Martha Silano (pictured) is the author of the book-length poetry collections The Little Office of Immaculate Conception (Saturnalia, 2011) and Blue Positive (Steel Toe Books 2006). She teaches at Bellevue College, near Seattle, WA, where

Ted Katz
The Studio Within
Tuesday, March 13, 7pm
 In The Studio Within,
Ted Katz paints a warm, brilliantly funny picture of an artist's
journey. From a childhood of wonder and fascination with the day-to-day
questions he encounters, through young adulthood as a teacher and
administrator, and into the depth of his life as a celebrated artist,
Katz leads the reader on a joyous romp-always following his own quest
to understand the nature of the creative soul.
