Tomorrow (Wed. 6/11) join us at BOLD (1755 SW Jefferson St., Portland) for a Portland Book Week Reading with the Indigo Community Featuring Henry Latourette Miller, Nicole Rosevear, and Jeff Stookey. The event is the third in a series spotlighting the stellar writing of members of the Indigo community. Each featured author will read a selection from their body of work.
Henry Latourette Miller is a city planner and writer with a Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning from Portland State University. He spent nearly three years winning grants and innovating game-changing programs at the Portland metro’s largest street user advocate, The Street Trust. Ooligan Press published his first book, The Pacific Northwest Disaster Guide, in 2024. Follow his work for more info! /
Nicole Rosevear’s work has appeared in North American Review, Bennington Review, The Lemonwood Quarterly, and VoiceCatcher as well as the anthologies City of Weird: 30 Otherworldly Portland Tales and Dispatches from Anarres: Tales in Tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin. When she’s not writing or teaching fiction, composition, and literature at Clackamas Community College, she can often be found in her garden spending more time identifying bugs than looking after the plants.
Exploring the lives of two gay men in the 1920s, Jeff Stookey had to learn to see through eyes that were not familiar with a post-Stonewall world. These characters were figuring out homosexuality, just as he had, growing up in a small town in rural Washington State. He studied literature, history, and cinema at Occidental College, and then got a BFA in Theater from Fort Wright College. A novel writing class at The Attic Institute and more than a year with two different creative writing groups helped him bring this story out of the closet. Stookey has lived in Portland, Oregon, for many years with his longtime partner and their unruly garden.
