Poet Patrick Dixon reads from his new book, Mending Holes, Saturday, August 9th, 2025 upstairs at 2pm at Browsers Bookshop in Olympia. Mending Holes is a collection of poems inspired by his 20 years working as a commercial salmon fisherman on Cook Inlet, Alaska. The poems serve as a container for larger issues such as coming of age, finding knowledge, the frustration of inexperience, the timeless beauty and danger of the sea, and the trials of growing old and leaving what you loved.
