Between 2011- 2013, three people important to me were diagnosed with cancer — two of them have since died from the disease. That’s why Relay for Life has become so personal for me. It’s not a faceless disease. It has taken my friends and afÀicted my pops. $ctually, I don’t think there are very many people out there that haven’t been touched by can- cer in some way.

First Draft features two poets $ pair of La *rande poets are included in the upcoming First Draft Writers’ Series. Featuring Nancy Knowles and Thomas Madden, the event is Thursday at 7 p.m. at Pendleton Center for the $rts, 214 N. Main St. It’s free and open to the pub- lic. Knowles is a professor of English and writing at Eastern Oregon Universi- ty and was the director of the Oregon Writing Proj- ect at EOU for more than 10 years. She publishes primarily literary analysis and articles on teaching English and writing and has been invited to read her poetry at the Round- house Reading Series and the Eastern Oregon Word Round-Up. Madden believes that good poems grow out of the imagination’s inter- section with both person- al and cultural history, as well as landscape. He is especially interested in the role of his poetic imagination as it encoun- ters his own European heritage and the impact of that heritage in the United States. He’s been a reporter, a college writ- ing and journalism in- structor and playwright. He is writing a third col- lection of poems, tenta- tively titled “The Silas Chronicles.” $fter readings by the featured writers, audi- ence members may par- ticipate in short open mic sessions to read their own original poems or stories.
