Pop-up: Marisa Siegel

Sat, Nov 5, 2022 from 12:45 pm - 1:05 pm PDT

General Admission Pass required for entry

Marisa Siegel pops-up in the Portland Art Museum galleries with her poetry chapbook, Fixed Stars.

Siegel is paired with the artwork Door 5 by Theodoros Stamos; found in the Modern and Contemporary Art area, on the 1st floor of the Portland Art Museum. Please reference the Portland Art Museum Map or the Portland Book Festival print program to find this location.


In Fixed Stars, Marisa Siegel investigates the in-between: windows, porches, drawers, bedrooms, and basements are portals to examine how language shapes and is shaped, and to what ends. With original artwork by Trisha Previte, Fixed Stars is a lush voyage through trauma and toward the reestablishment of hope.


Portland Book Festival General Admission Passes are required for entry into all events. Passes are $15 in advance and $25 day of Festival. Youth 17 & under, or with a valid high school ID get in FREE. All full-priced General Admission Passes include a $5 book fair voucher and entry into Portland Art Museum. Passes admit attendees to the Festival; individual events are first-come, first-served. More info here.
