Tsunami Books hosts the annual William Stafford Birthday Party Sunday afternoon. Get out your favorite Stafford poem — and a piece of your own work written in his style — and bring it to the bookstore for a reading (you can bring a story to tell if you lack poetic leanings). After the reading, stick around to watch What the River Says, a video on the life and work of Stafford, the author of more than 50 books and former U.S. poet laureate. The event is free, but organizers will be taking donations of books for Operation Paperback (which sends books to troops overseas) and small cash donations to help with shipping. See Sunday Calendar.
Though the Last Friday ArtWalk is a little smaller this month — just 14 venues (not counting all the public art!) — it's still a good reason to get out and about on Friday evening. Start with Possum Place's "marsupial mayhem," stop by Better Yet to see work by Regan Lee (pictured above) and cool your heels with a pint at Sam Bond's — or ignore our suggestions and stop wherever you like; the Walk, after all, is self-guided. See Friday Calendar.THURSDAY, JANUARY 26
