From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kim Stafford is an American poet and essayist who lives in Portland, Oregon. He received a Ph.D. in medieval literature from the University of Oregon. Since 1979, he has taught writing at Lewis & Clark College in Portland. He has also taught courses at Willamette University in Salem. He is currently the director and artist-in-residence at the Northwest Writing Institute. He is the son of poet William Stafford.
His many books include A Thousand Friends of Rain, Having Everything Right and The Muses Among Us.
He was also a contributor to the Multnomah County project When You Were 15, in which
adults from our community share their stories about how an adult made a difference to them when they were fifteen. Several stories from today’s young people prove that they, too, need caring adults. These real life stories show how even a small act of encouragement can make a big difference in a teen’s life.[1]
His work is featured at the Orenco Station on the Rings of Memory Plaza and the Witness Tree Rest.
