Gorge Guide

BOOK SIGNING AND ART DISPLAY at Waucoma Bookstore in Hood River, Oregon

Waucoma Bookstore is hosting author Amy Minato and local Gorge artist Jan Muir for a book signing and art display.

Saturday, May 30, 2009
3 - 5 p.m.

Amy will be signing her new book "Siesta Lane: A Cabin, No Running Water, and a Year Living Green". A poet at heart, Amy Minato rejects her life of consumption in Chicago to go back to nature-specifically, to a commune in Oregon, where she rediscovers herself. She also cops occasionally to the pretentiousness of her mission, and laughs along with the reader at her attempts to be both environmentally-friendly and sane, considering the fact that she's moved in with a bunch of strangers in a remote locale.

Jan Muir, a relative of the great environmentalist John Muir, lends her beautiful black-and-white illustrations to the book.
