Jason Weeks. Writer.

Biography

 I’m a poet and writer living and working in Portland, Oregon. I work for a major independent bookstore during the week, and spend my weekends hiking in Oregon's Cascades and coast range. My travels have taken me to Europe and South America, as well as across the American west, and those experiences inform my writing, from poetry to essays to book and hiking reviews. This site contains a portfolio of my published writing,  as well as the best unpublished writing from my blog, Borrowed Times.
