GO! magazine — A&E in Northeast Oregon
Log on for a new FISHTRAP FIRESIDE episode
■ March reading celebrates Women’s History Month
ENTERPRISE — The next
Fishtrap Fireside will be posted to
Fishtrap’s website Friday, March
5. Held monthly October through
April, Fishtrap Fireside is a free
event designed to provide Wallowa
County writers a chance to share
their work.
Due to COVID-19, Fireside is
now being held virtually. A new
episode is posted the fi rst Friday
of the month, and all previous
readings also are available. Watch
them whenever you want at www.
fi shtrap.org/fi shtrap-fi reside-2/ and
on Fishtrap’s YouTube channel.
Each month’s episode offers a
fresh look at what people of the
West are thinking about and
writing down. Since the program
launched in 2013, more than 80
Wallowa County writers have
stepped up to the podium to share
their work.
March’s Fishtrap Fireside cel-
ebrates women of all generations
and is sponsored by Kokanee Inn
Bed and Breakfast in Joseph.
This special Women’s History
Month episode features three Wal-
lowa County writers, Lynne Curry,
Talia Galvin, and Janie Tippett
adapted to landlocked living by
hiking and skiing in the Wallowa
mountains as often as possible.
Lynne currently works as a
freelance journalist focused on
small-scale farming, animal
welfare and sustainable agriculture
with articles in The Guardian,
HuffPost, Los Angeles Times and
many other publications.
A former professional cook, she
also spends a lot of time thinking
about what to eat, which infl uences
much of her writing. Her food
essays have appeared in Tin House
— including the anthology “Food &
Booze: A Tin House Literary Feast”
— and in Eating Well and Leite’s
Culinaria.
She is the author of the grassfed
beef cookbook, “Pure Beef,” which
features several local ranching
families, and is working on a follow-
up book that explores pasture-
raised foods through narrative
nonfi ction — her all-time favorite
writing craft.
as a young adult to work for the
USFS as a ranger in the Eagle Cap
Wilderness and the Hells Canyon
National Recreation Area.
Her career has taken her from
forests to tall buildings for work
in design, editorial, photography,
outdoor ed and social sciences.
Though she loves variety in her
adventures, Talia always knew her
basecamp one day would be near
the Wallowas.
By trade, Talia captures the
delight of humanity, love, untold
stories and local products with her
camera. But it’s in the rare, quick
quiet times that she puts pen to
paper in an attempt to decipher
that which she wonders and
imagines — lately, waking from
dreaming to write down a musing,
feed her baby and return to sleep.
Beyond park ranger blogging
and college literary zines, her
writing has been a practice of
personal refl ection, so this reading
will be a world premiere of some
inner workings.
