Drive from Vancouver to Longview, Centralia,
Olympia, Aberdeen, Pacific Beach.

In Olympia, I plan to shop at the Browser's Bookshop, Half-Price Bookstore, and eat lunch at the Olympia Oyster House, and drive around the Capitol Building and Budd Inlet parks.


I purchased and studied a new book of poems by Elizabeth Bishop during the four days of this yurt camping trip to Pacific Beach State Park in Grays Harbor County, Southwestern Washington.

Poems. By Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979). Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux, 2011, 352 pages. Paperback, VSCL. 

Living simply on the inheritance from her father, she travelled and lived in many countries. She wrote and translated in English and Spanish.

I read her poems during this Copolis River-Beach camping trip. Indoors out of the steady rain day and night, and indoors through the long outdoor winter darkness of the night.

My favorite poems by Ms. Bishop:
Objects and Apparitions 1976
artifacts in shoeboxes of memories
One Art 1976
“The art of losing isn’t hard to master.”

I will post comments to this blog depending upon the availability of Internet service. Probably, after I return on March 13th.
