SUMMARY:Poetry Reading and Open Mic with Michael Magee
DESCRIPTION:Invitation Bookshop welcomes Michael Magee for a poetry reading and signing\, followed by an Open Mic. \nABOUT THE BOOK: \nMichael Magee opens Crowed with a coffee-spill Rorschach crow\, its bill dripping honey and mayhem. These poems travel across ethereal borders and find a man in honey who finds his way home from the pub after too many hours\, who finds rain is no sorrow. And too\, there is the mayhem of devastating fires\, a man with a hose\, where every road is a dead end\, or the woman in “Bench Warrant” who is “rising on her own / after last night’s collapse / the wind gone out of her.” Crowed’s shiny objects are life’s joys and sorrows. They are a witch in the woods and the ginger cat dreaming of a perfect love. -Kevin Miller\, author of Spring \nMeditation and Vanish Crowed should be read slowly and luxuriously for each poem is deeply layered and gorgeously told in stunning language. The subject matter is varied and intriguing\, from encounters with birds to travels through Ireland and back through history. Each poem is a delight. In its entirety\, the book is a wonder. -Maggie Kennedy\, author of The Unraveling Script \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nCrowed is Michael Magee’s fifth collection of poetry and a Sally Albiso Prize finalist. In this collection he goes back to his Celtic roots\, family\, and friends and pays homage to those he’s learned from. His most recent third third and fourth collections were Shiny Things and Budapest After Dark\, published in 2025. His plays and poetry have been produced here and in England and Greece. New work appears in Open Book: Western Washington Poets Network Anthology and Cirque. He conducts writing workshops and appears on KTAH FM RadioTacoma\, VerseDaily.Org\, and The Writer’s Almanac. Michael’s poems reflect his interest in nature\, theatre\, music\, literature\, and travel. His mentors and friends have been David Wagoner\, Ben Drake\, and William Matchett\, professors emeriti at the University of Washington. His musical influences include: Franz Liszt\, Chopin\, Lou Reed\, Leonard Cohen\, Marianne Faithfull\, and Townes Van Zandt. He has lived in England and traveled in Ireland as well as Hungary\, Morocco\, and Turkey. He is recipient of a Jack Straw Residency and lives in Tacoma\, Washington.

SUMMARY:Real Housewives in the Age of Betty Friedan with Marie Bostwick
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Harbor History Museum for an author talk and book signing with Marie Bostwick\, in conversation with Allyson Howard\, owner of Invitation Bookshop. RSVP required. \nAfter the talk\, you are welcome to explore the Harbor History Museum’s new exhibit The Hostess with the Mostess: Making Much with What’s at Hand. This exhibit was inspired by a collection of aprons from the late Helen Neilsen Johnson Bates and grew in to an inspiring journey of women accomplishing remarkable things through the art of entertaining in the 1950s. From feed sack aprons to feeding family and friends\, the art of entertaining is at the fore with this new\, fun exhibit. This exhibit looks at both old world influences and the new world of women working and affecting community change. \nThe Harbor History Museum is located at 4121 Harborview Dr\, Gig Harbor.
