H er second poetry collection, "Plume," was selected by Linda Bierds for the Pacific Northwest Poetry Series and published by University of Washington, 2012.

The book won the Washington State Book Award.

"Plume" is a meditation on the Hanford nuclear site and her hometown of Richland, Washington, at the height of the Cold War, next door to the Hanford site where "every father I knew disappeared to fuel the bomb."

Flenniken worked for three years at Hanford as an engineer. Reviewing the book for The Bloomsbury Review, Marit McArthur wrote,"Surely, it is rare to come acrossa poetoffam iliar contemporary experience like Kathleen Flenniken, whose imaginative, convincing tropes, sense of rhythm and sound, sharp intellect, narrative instinctand resistance to cliche transform that experience into art so compelling that it makes us wonder — how have we come to doubtitcould bedone?"

Kathleen Flenniken, Washington State Poet Laureate (201 2-14), will be the featured reader May 20 at the Roundhouse Third Wednesday Reading Series at Looking Glass Books in La Grande.

2006l won the Prairie Schooner Book Prize and was named a Notable Book by the American LibraryAssociation. Her other honors include a Pushcart Prize and fellowships kom National Endowment for the Arts and Artists Trust.

"For years, my subject was my daily domestic life," Flenniken said.

"I saw myself as a natural historian of interiors. This is the focus of'Famous.' In 2004, I started, with-

out recognizing it at first, a very different project, and for close to six years I wrote almost exclusively aboutHanford,where plutonium was produced for 40 years, and about its bedroom community, my hometown, Richland, Washington."

"Plume," the resulting full-length collection of poems, is part memoir, part history lesson, part cautionary tale, partquest.

"Itisatitsheartasearch for

identity, as I have tried to synthesize the truths of my childhood with the environmental facts I've learned kom the sustained examination of one all-consuming subject," Flenniken said.

Now she is at work on a new obsession— herproblematic,starcrossed love affair with her country, and her parallel relationship with romance itself.

In Seattle, where she lives, Flenniken is an editor and president of Floating Bridge Press, a nonprofit pressdedicated topublishing Washington State poets, and president of Jack Straw Foundation, an audio arts studio and cultural center. Flenniken teaches poetry in the schools through arts agencies like Writers in the Schools and Jack Straw, and she will be a returning Distinguished Visiting Poet at Seattle University this winter.

Flenniken holds a master of fine arts degree in creative writing kom Pacific Lutheran University as well asbachelor'sand mast er's degrees in civil engineering kom Washington State University and University of Washington.

The series is sponsored by Blue Mountain Writers and supported by agrant kom Maxine Cook Public Library and private donations.

ENTERPRISE — Weather Machine, a Portland band with 21st century sound, comes to the OK Theatre in Enterprise Saturday.

Tickets for Weather Machine are availablefor $10 in advance at M. Crow and Co. in Lostine, Dollar Stretcher in Enterprise and Joseph Hardware in Joseph and at the door for $12. The show startsat7 p.m .

Like so many of today's bands, genres are junctions of roads and spur roads of rock, blues, country and folk. Lead singer Slater Smith calls their style Power Americana.

"Folk rock doesn't do the trick," Smith said.( We are more of a theatrical act — we play a lot with dynamics and a lot of sounds. All the sounds are intentionally different."

Smith said as a political science major at Willamette University he snuck off to the coast to write his senior thesis. He ended up at the Oar House Bar and Grill in Pacific City, where Colin Robson was running open mic night.

"There were only about four different dudes there, so we just

swapped and played songs all night," Smith said.

Smith and Robson became fast friends. Robson was building a recording studio with help from a Kickstarter campaign. The two started working on an album with a dance sound in the studio. From there, they decided to put together a band with Smith. They brought in cellist Matthew Cartmill and Smith's brother, Tanner Smith,

Bassist Nick Hamel and LukeHoffman on drums round out the band's current lineup.

In April 2013, the band got its start at the White Eagle in Portland, where it played every Monday fora mo nth.

Having a cellist trade offlead with a guitar is a new twist on rock and roll, but new twists are the name of the game for modern bands. Smith said the new drummer has mixed things up as well.

"Luke has changed the direction ofband ina very good way,"Smith ( said. W e have a lotoffun and

giggle and laugh a lot and play loud."

Smith said their new album, "Peach," came out in March and is

indicative of the sound they now have.The album can be sampled or purchased on their website, weathermachinemusic.com.

The band's name started out as President Thorsett's Weather Machine, which was too cumbersome, so name was shortened to just eWeather Machine." Ironically, Why WeatherMachine? or coincidentally, Stephen Thorsett is an astronomer.

So why eWeather Machine"?

Smith went to school in Salem, The name is a little easier to where the weather tends toward handle but still raises eyebrows.

Smith said coming across the gloomy most of the time, except one special day of the year when Oregon-California border the the high school students tour the patrolman asked if they were Willamette University campus. musicians, seeing instruments in "There was a story going around their vehicle. campus on spring visitation day The patrolman said, "Oh, you when high school students came," must be into chemtrails," and Smith said."It was the one day it waved themthrough the border. would be nice. There was a joke Chemtrails are thought to be going around that the president of chemicals released from jet airlinthe school had acquired a weather ers that alter the weather, Smith machine, made a deal with the sald. devil."

All conspiracy theories aside,

the band is making trails all over the West. Their connection to the OKTheatre was a chance meeting with Manager Bart Budwig, who was a big part of the Moscow, Idaho, music scene before moving to Enterprise.

On a 10-day tour, Smith said he wanted to go to Moscow, where singer-songwriter Josh Ritter hails. ''When wegotto thevenue where we were to play, the windows were boarded up," Smith saId. They walkedaround trying to figureout where to play and went into Bucer's Coffee House and Pub.Budwig helped them book a gig there that night, and he has worked sound for them at other gIgs
