LA GRANDE â The date was May 24, 2017, and George Venn, an award-winning La Grande writer and poet, had just completed a reading in Cove at an event honoring Brock Evans, one of the nationâs most decorated environmental activists.
Venn did not know it then, but the end of the reading actually was a beginning â the start of a literary journey unlike any he may travel again.
Venn gave his reading at a surprise party celebrating Evansâ 80th birthday. The works Venn chose for the occasion included two poems by Evans from a collection of writings in his basement, âKeepers of the Doorâ and âElgy.â
