Citadel of the Spirit: Oregon's Sesquicentennial Anthology March 13, 2009

Join us for this fun event celebrating the release of Citadel of the Spirit: Oregon’s Sesquicentennial Anthology, edited by Matt Love of Nestucca Spit Press. The event will take place at the Corvallis Library in the Main Meeting Room on Friday, March 13th at 7 pm. Joining Matt Love are Kathleen Dean Moore and William Robbins, both contributing authors to the anthology. The program will include readings from Citadel of the Spirit, as well as a slide show and an Oregon trivia contest.

The book contains 63 original essays by many of the state’s finest writers and 61 excerpts from primary documents related to Oregon history. Citadel of the Spirit merges past and present Oregon voices to create what Love calls the "literary equivalent of a mix tape," rather than a traditional greatest hits anthology. "I wanted to produce an unconventional book that integrated the old stories and new perspectives and reflects Oregon’s maverick nature, unquestionably the biggest cultural influence in my life," said Love.
