The BookBroads over at Broadway Books in Portland tipped us off about a new book by the passionate Oregon Coast author/publisher/teacher/Powell’s blogger Matt Love. They describe Love & The Green Lady: Meditations on the Yaquina Bay Bridge: Oregon’s Crown Jewel of Socialism thusly: “The new book blends an eclectic variety of literary genres, including memoir, essay, vignette, autobiography, letter, homework, meditation, ode, commentary, oral history, polemic, curriculum, and confession. It also offers more than 100 photographs of the bridge taken by Matt and some of his students.” In other words, just what you’d expect from Mr. Love, whose books somehow manage to mesh his personal stories with Oregon history—and pull it off. We interviewed him here about his press and his recent books, Super Sunday in Newport: Notes From My First Year in Town and Gimme Refuge: The Education of a Caretaker.
