Author talk on Rivers In My Veins with Poet Kara Briggs

2-3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 23, Edmonds Library, 650 Main St., Edmonds
Join Kara Briggs, 2024 James Welch Prize-winning poet, for an in-person reading and celebration of her lyrical and documentary poetry book Rivers In My Veins.
Briggs, a citizen of the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe and direct descendant Yakama, was a career journalist who has worked across the Northwest as a staff writer at the Oregonian and the Spokesman-Review. She recently completed a masters of fine art in creative writing at the Institute of American Indian Art.
“Rivers in My Veins is an expression of my experience as a mixed-race tribal citizen in the West,” Briggs said. “It opens a window to a tribal perspective on the modern world and history that brought us to this present time. It speaks to readers who are inundated with the noise of today’s media world and invites them to talk a walk in the lands by the waters that are ever present and available to all.”
Briggs is lauded for her “elegiac, precise language and the spirit of the Northwest,” said Deborah Taffa, author of the celebrated memoir Whiskey Tender. “Kara Briggs sings her people onto the page. Rivers in My Veins is both a protest and celebration, a reminder to readers that the Sauk-Suiattle, Wenatchee, Chelan, Entiat, and Skagit peoples are still harvesting, fishing, and remembering.”
Briggs brings a journalist’s perspective to the story and a poet’s commitment to language and poetic form. Poetry is a very personal art form for Briggs, who started crafting poems as soon as she learned to write as a child. Decades of newspaper journalism gave her the discipline to write, which informs her current debut as a literary author.
Jennifer Elise Foerster, the editor of When the Light of the World was Subdued Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry, wrote, “Kara Briggs’ tenacious spirit and fierce love of the lands, waters, and stories of her Coast Salish people makes Rivers in My Veins a powerful debut collection that will become a vital contribution to our shared word’s literary – and deeply alive – landscapes.”
