Join us for an insightful author talk with Martha Gies, author of Broken Open.
Broken Open is Martha Gies’ memoir told in 18 essays exploring a life robustly and thoughtfully lived. With dry wit, sharp insights, and deep empathy for the underdog, the memoir's three sections explore: the illusions and disillusions of childhood, the search for right livelihood, and a forgiving assessment of what it all means.
Portland-based author Martha Gies taught creative writing for 34 years, both at the university and in annual workshops on four continents. Her work is widely published in literary magazines and various anthologies. Her previous book, Up All Night (Oregon State University Press, 2004), was recognized by the two leading Oregon newspapers as one of the Best Ten Books of the Year.
