Frederick Livingston- Trees are Bridges to the Sky: Poems | Village Books and Paper Dreams

May 31, 2025 (UTC-8)
Bellingham
Arts
Literary Arts
Can poetry evolve culture in service of a wounded Earth? Join ecologist, educator, and award-winning author Frederick Livingston for an evening exploring how the metaphors we inhabit shape the futures available to us. Whether you are a poet, human, or tree, you are sure to leave with seeds of evolution. Are humans parasites, sowing our own hunger or fruit, gifts from Earth to our future? Is the edge of our lives, civilization, and species a cliff to catastrophe, or a bridge to transformation? Our future begins with seeds we sow in this moment. Frederick Livingston is a spoken word ecologist grown beside the Salish Sea. Experiential education and peacebuilding have taken him from WWU's school of environment to Peace Corps Tanzania, the UN's University for Peace, and beyond. He has authored two science and poetry books and won the Prism Prize for Climate Literature.

The Chuckanut Radio Hour featuring Patrick Hutchison- Cabin | The Hotel Leo Crystal Ballroom

May 15, 2025 (UTC-8)ENDED
Bellingham
Arts
Literary Arts
Doors open and music begins at 6:30pm. Interviewer: Rich Donnelly Musical Guest: Phil Paige Spaces are limited and REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED to secure your spot so don't delay. A nationally bestselling memoir of Patrick Hutchison's journey from an office job to restoring a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, based on his wildly popular Outside Magazine piece. Wit's End isn't just a state of mind. It's the name of a gravel road, the address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. To say Hutchison didn't know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he's a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. CABIN is the story of those renovations, but it's also a love story; of a place, of possibilities, and of the process of construction, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what it's like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to. PATRICK HUTCHISON is a writer and builder from the Pacific Northwest. His work has appeared in Outside, Wired, Vice, Seattle magazine, and Seattle Weekly. He grew up in Washington State's rainy southwest corner, eventually moving to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. After a decade of copywriting, Hutchison left a career behind a keyboard to pursue carpentry. His first book, CABIN, follows him as he makes that clumsy transition. He now lives and works in Tacoma, WA with his wife, Kate, and their black lab, Marge. Rich Donnelly began his radio career in his 20s, working weekends at KGMI and KISM, at first mostly changing tapes and reading weather forecasts on the air. Over the years he has kept busy in the radio world, even while his career diverged into technical journalism. He's done jazz shows, interview shows, and 15 years of Grateful Dead music shows for both KISM and KUGS. He also did two short freelance stints at Blue Danube Radio, an English-language service in Vienna. But the pinnacle of his radio career, of course, is the Chuckanut Radio Hour! Phil Paige is a singer songwriter who recently moved to Bellingham, WA. Originally from Seattle, he has lived and played music up and down the West Coast for over forty years, and was most recently based on Lopez Island. He has released two CD's of his original music, which are described as folk, alt-country, and pop-oriented songs. - The Chuckanut Radio Hour, a recipient of Bellingham's prestigious Mayor's Arts Award, is a radio variety show that began in January 2007.
