Author Program:
There Was an Old Woman
at the Newport Public Library

The Newport Public Library is proud to host Oregon author and blogger Andrea Carlisle as she reads from her new book, There Was an Old Woman, on Saturday, November 4, 2-3:30 p.m. via Zoom! There will be a viewing party in the McEntee Meeting Room of the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street Newport, OR 97365.

Andrea Carlisle isn’t struggling with her new identity as the Old Woman in the way society seems to think she should. In fact, she is finding her later years to be an extraordinary and interesting time. In a voice that rings with clarity, humor, and humility, Carlisle shows us that old age is not another country where we can expect to find the Old Woman grimly waiting, but is instead an expansion of the borders in the country we’re most familiar with: ourselves. Andrea Carlisle taught fiction and nonfiction for the Oregon Writers’ Workshop and other writing organizations in Oregon and Washington.

Her work has been published in literary journals, newspapers, magazines, anthologies, and by independent presses. Go Ask Alice… When She’s 94, her popular blog about her mother, brought attention to aging and caregiving before they became subjects of national interest. She has received fellowships from the Oregon Institute of Literary Arts and the Oregon Arts Commission. This program is sponsored by the City of Newport, the Newport Public Library Foundation and Newport Public Library. For more information and to register for and receive the Zoom link, please call the library at 541-265-2153 or email reference@newportlibrary.org.
