In honor of beloved past Guild Member and Portuguese American poet Michael Garcia Spring who passed away in October 2024, we proudly present a spring book release event in conjunction with his Celebration of Life (April 12) in Takilma, OR to share his final written works of art. We couldn't think of a better time than National Poetry Month to release his final poetry book, Approaching Pianowood Harbor, publised by his company, Flowstone Press. Flowstone Press was founded with a goal of publishing contemporary poetry collections and chapbooks, leaning toward the lyrical, psychological, environmental, cultural, and imagistic. In the spirit of Flowstone, during this event we are hosting a community open-mic and we invite Michael's loved ones and local artists to gather and share poems, songs, stories, or spoken word pieces either about Michael or any topics that speak to your hearts. We will have a PA system and chairs available. To sign up for a 5-10-minute performance slot, please email us at:
