Ourigan, Oregon

The collection features poems from two authors separated by two centuries, showcasing diverse styles and influences. The first group, penned by William Clark during the Corps of Discovery expedition (1804-1806), reflects the historical and exploratory spirit of early America. In contrast, the second group, attributed to an anonymous writer from Portland (2017-2019), captures contemporary themes and perspectives. Together, they offer a unique juxtaposition of time, temperament, and purpose in the poetic landscape of Oregon.
