Writers from the Southern Oregon Coast Unite to Share Their Experiences

Unsolicited Press, a small publisher based out of Portland releases SONGS FROM THE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST, a collaborative collection comprising works from fifty-seven writers living on the southern coast of Oregon. With each poem and story, layers of history, culture, and inspiration reveal themselves. From the pristine natural settings to the vibrant town atmospheres, the region comes to life in this collection.

“In this book you will find fifty-seven local authors explaining in fifty-seven different ways why they enjoy living along the southern Oregon coast: it’s beauty, history and inspiration, its people, flora, fauna and relatively mild weather, its fishing, hunting, pristine forests, beaches and laid-back atmosphere.”   -- Gary Carter
