Join poet Marie Eaton for a reading and celebration of Learning to Bend, a collection that explores aging, love, loss, and life’s beauty!
About this Event

In Learning to Bend, a collection of tender and lyrical poems contemplating the years that are ‘heavy gifts to carry,’ Marie Eaton explores the challenges and joys of aging, the inevitability of death, and the persistence of love.


Marie Eaton’s poems capture images from both natural and the emotional landscapes. She has been published in various anthologies: Madrona Project: Keep a Green Bough (Empty Bowl Press - 2021); Spring and All, (Red Wheelbarrow Writers - 2023); Words of a Feather, (Sue Boynton Poetry Contest - 2025); Washington State’s Queer Poetry Anthology, (2025) and she has published four other collections: Liquid Moon (2022); What Falls Away is Always (2022); Following the Line (2022); and Be Here Now (2023).
