Ferris Talkin'

A collection of short pieces documenting the revitalization of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Includes short stories, poetry, news clippings, and in-person reports from locals. The narrator is Ferris Pontis, the nom de plume of Portland's Steel Bridge.

"Ferris Talkin' is a good read, highly recommended to accompany days on the shores and in the waters of the Willamette River . . . This short whimsical read uses humor, brevity, human interactions, and music to explore the revived, magnificent river as it flows through history and through Portland." (Tad McCall.)

"What do people find so strange about a bridge talking?" (Nathan Howard, Senior Advisor to Oregon Measure 109, legalization of psilocybin therapy)

"Glad Ferris is finally speaking up. Being just upstream, I know Ferris has a lot to say." (Burnie)
