Baskin’s Poetry Book Comes to Watzek

Amy Baskin, Administrative Coordinator for English, History, and Fir Acres Summer Writing Workshop Administrative Coordinator Amy Baskin’s first full poetry collection will be available at Watzek Library later this spring. NIGHT HAG (Unsolicited Press, April 2023) speaks of femininity through the eternal voice of Lilith, the first woman.

Baskin is a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, an Oregon Literary Arts Fellow, and an Oregon Poetry Association prize winner. Her first chapbook HYSTERICAL CAKE (Dancing Girl Press, 2022) deals with workings of the womb.

Baskin was recently featured by Humans of Lewis & Clark, and shares her tenacious journey to earning an Oregon Literary Arts fellowship after sustaining a brain injury. See the Instagram post here:
