Karin Temple releases
sixth volume of poetry
ASTORIA — Astoria poet
Karin Temple will release
her sixth collection of po-
ems in a reading and book
signing on Sunday, July 24
at Grace Episcopal Church,
located at 1545 Franklin
Ave. The reading will begin
at 3 p.m. in the church
sanctuary with a reception
to follow.
“Chalice of Tears” is
Temple’s latest book of
poetry published by Radio-
larian Press. The collection
is written in two parts.
The ¿rst part, called “The
Petri¿ed Angel,” looks to
the past, Temple’s own past
as a “child of war” in 1940s
Germany, and the cultural
history of that era, lament-
ing the wars of the world.
In the second part,
“The Holiness of Broken
Things,” she attempts to
reconcile past darkness with
beauty in a series of poems
inspired by the sculptures of
local artist Charles Schwei-
gert. Photos of the sculp-
tures are included in the
book alongside the poems
written in response to them.
The actual sculptures will
be on display in the church
Yates, who performs un-
der the moniker Shirley88,
performs jazz, classic
American song book, and
artists like Aretha Frank-
lin, Adele, Etta James and
Norah Jones. This benefit
is close to Yates and her
family, since her father suf-
fered from Alzheimer’s.
If you have an item you
would like to donate for
the auction or want more
information, contact Helen
Pringle at 503-338-9878 or
541-265-5356 or call the
office for Avamere at Sea-
side at 503-738-0900.
Avamere at Seaside is
located at 2500 S. Roos-
evelt Drive.
during the event.
The majority of Schwei-
gert’s pieces are reliquaries
for housing the remains
of things we hold dear,
while others are imaginary
containers for capturing
emotions or sentiments that
can’t be housed. They are
lyrical interpretations of
what has been lost and are
ideal for translation into
poetry.
The event will include
readings by Temple and by
guest speakers along with
songs related to the poems
performed by Drew Herzig
and Laurie Drage, accom-
panied by pianist Jennifer
Goodenberger. A reception
and book signing will fol-
low the program.
