A sampling of work from award-winning writer, Charles Deemer

From his early literary short stories in the 1960s, to a primary career in playwriting and screenwriting, to digital filmmaking, to teaching and a return to fiction, Deemer has been prolific and relentless in his search for dramatic truths about our lives.

  • Fiction: from a novella about star-crossed lovers against the backdrop of 9/11, to a story about the sudden appearance of a stoplight in a small Oregon town that never had one, this collection includes 2 short novels and 4 short stories.
  • Drama: from Deemer's award-winning public television play "Christmas at the Juniper Tavern," to a screenplay about an old man who kidnaps his high school sweetheart from a rest home to take her on a fly fishing adventure, the collection has 4 stage plays and 1 screenplay.
  • Essays: from the widely "net distributed" memoir about Deemer's early drinking life, "Liquor and Lit," to memories of being a teenager in LA during the birth of rock and roll.
  • Poems: 8 poems later collected in Deemer's book "In My Old Age," including the comic classic, "The West Meets East Talkin' Misery Blues."

˃˃˃ Almost 700 pages of great reading in this definitive tribute to Deemer's career.


[in the 1980s] "the clearest and most important theatre voice in Oregon"
