Whidbey poets to talk together
Poets Michael C. Ford and David Ossman share a stage for the first time in an evening dubbed "Equals Two" at the Rob Schouten Gallery on Whidbey Island.
This free evening of poetry begins at 7 p.m. Saturday at the gallery at Greenbank Farm, 765 Wonn Road, Greenbank. Light refreshments will be served.
Ford and Ossman met in the late 1960s in Los Angeles. In the 40 years since, they have both received Grammy nominations. Ford's "Emergency Exits" was honored with a 1998 Pulitzer nomination. Ossman has gone on to perform and broadcast his work in such venues as "All Things Considered" on National Public Radio.
Ford's recent collection, "The Demented Chauffeur & Other Mysteries," delves into some notorious unsolved crimes, including the Black Dahlia murder. Ossman's newest book, "Fools & Death," collects poems from 2001-2008 and will be published later this year.
