The Final Forest, a gathering of history and perspective on logging, ancient forests, and the Olympic Peninsula is not only excellent journalism but eloquent writing.

February 15 – Patrick Ball, internationally known harpist and storyteller. As a young man when his life’s journey changed suddenly, Patrick made his way to Ireland, where he was captivated with the eloquence and fire of the Irish oral tradition. There, too, he fell in love with the Celtic harp. Lucky for the rest of us! Patrick tours extensively, solo and with other artists, has written & performed theatrical pieces, made at least a dozen CD’s, and been awarded grants as well as the Circle of Excellence Award from the National Storytelling Association. www.patrickball.com
