SUMMARY:NW Authors Series Presents Brian Stephen Ellis
DESCRIPTION:The Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series welcomes award-w
 inning poet Brian Stephen Ellis to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Natio
 nal Poetry Month. Ellis is a poet\, teacher\, and performance artist criti
 cs have called a lyrical and authentic storyteller and a genius of intimac
 y and humor. Ellis argues against determinism–the belief that human acti
 ons are predetermined or ordained. Instead\, his poetry and short fiction 
 examine how\, why and what drives human thought and actions. In the proces
 s he flips ideas and actions on their heads and looks at them from an oppo
 site perspective.\nEllis has been nominated six times for a Pushcart Prize
 \, was awarded the William Stafford War No War award\, and was a Finalist 
 for the Oregon Book Award in 2025. Ellis moved to Portland in 2011\, leavi
 ng Boston\, where he had been a member of the Boston Poetry Slam. He was a
  co-founder of the Whitehaus Family Record independent record label. He is
  a story producer for Back Fence PDX\, a live storytelling series\, and a 
 teacher of creative writing at Portland Community College. His serial nove
 l\, All Anything Anyone\, is currently available on Substack: allanythinga
 nyone.substack.com Ellis is the author of the short story collection\, Pre
 tty Much the Last Hardcore Kid in This Town\, and of the poetry collection
 s Against Common Sense\, American Dust Revisited\, Often Go Awry\, Uncontr
 olled Experiments in Freedom\, and Yesterday Won’t Goodbye. He lives in 
 Portland\, Oregon.
