Scatterbrain Noah Mickens

Journalism, interviews, essays, and poetry from the boom years of Portland, Oregon; from the circus ring master and DIY show producer Noah Mickens. Figures from the local and international music and performance scenes, episodes from the radical political movements, subcultural critique, and one article about comic books for good measure. Portland is more than strippers, donuts, and a TV comedy series. "Scatterbrain" offers an insider review of the true spirit and history of our misunderstood little city, thrust suddenly into the spotlight after decades of blissful obscurity. Dig it.
