Connie Soper, after returning to Oregon, was inspired by a winter day on the Oregon Coast to write her first poem in 20 years, titled 'January.' This poem was published in the North Coast Squid, a literary journal celebrating writers connected to the North Oregon Coast. The Squid, now in its 10th edition, offers a platform for emerging writers, giving them confidence and motivation in their craft, as noted by editor Andrew Barker. The journal originated from the Manzanita Writers' Series in 2008 and supports local artistic expression.
"It really meant a lot to me that that particular poem got published, because it meant something to me spending so much time at the beach in Manzanita."
"Many first-time-published writers have told me how powerful it was to have their work selected for publication in North Coast Squid."
