6 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Portland poet reads at Astoria Library ASTORIA — Judith Arcana, a Portland poet, will read from her new poetry collection, “Announcements from the Planetarium,” as well as ex- cerpts from her earlier work, 6 p.m. Thursday, June 1, at the Astoria Library (450 10th St.). The free event — part of the library’s Meet the Author series — will be followed by a Q-and-A with the audience and a book signing. Arcana, who hosts a poetry program on KBOO community radio and online, has lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1995 but was born and raised in the Great Lakes region. “She writes poems, stories, essays and books, publishing online and on paper; her work has been fostered by residencies and supported by grants, so she’s permanently grateful,” the library said in a release. Arcana worked as a high school English teacher in the 1960s but was “fired for her innovative teaching meth- ods, considered dangerously radical by the local school board,” according to press materials. “She has taught SUBMITTED PHOTO Judith Arcana in high schools, colleges, li- braries, living rooms, a state prison and a county jail.” Her work demonstrates a “commitment to repro- ductive justice” that began before the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Published in April from Flowstone Press, “An- nouncements from the Plan- etarium” contains poems that “examine memory, con- sider the nature of wisdom, and reflect on the experience of aging into new conscious- ness,” organizers wrote.
