Curiosity and Community (Guest Speaker: Bethany Lee)
Bethany Lee lives in Yamhill County, Oregon in a house at the edge of the woods. Her writing and music are often inspired by the space at the edge of things--her experiences as a hospice harpist, the year she spent traveling by sea, and the deep silence of her Quaker practice. She has published three collections of poetry and Close to the Surface, a sailing memoir, all from Fernwood Press.
