Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Dot To Dot Oregon

As an Oregonian, I loved poems about towns I had been to. With some of the places I am more familiar with, I could feel Sid’s movement through the areas, and loved how he had chosen his driving path because I have driven those paths too. I love local literature because Oregon is not a place many people choose to write about, or at least not as many are published. Sid Miller brings a voice to the overall area that is not often seen, especially in small towns like Hermiston where my mother grew up, or the nontourist towns on the coast, like Reedsport.

Killing George Washington The American
by

, October 16, 2009
I grew up in Oregon City, Oregon, end of the Oregon Trail. You know, the place where at the end of the computer game the music plays and all your points are added up. Yes, that town. I went all the way through the public school system and every year the field trip involved something related to the historical frontier, or a farm. One year we went to a farm. This book was different from the traditional rhetoric of the 1800s as taught in class. These poems represent the marginalized voices of the American West from murderers to minorities to slaves. I am tired of the balding white guy perspective and loved the voice of Oregon’s first murderess who had a farm not far from where I grew up. I loved the humanization of real characters from history whose voices had, before now, been brushed off as a secondary to historical cannon.
