Is it the close proximity of St. Patrick's Day to the spring equinox that has resulted in the Annual Leprechaun Hunt? Hundreds of little Irish critters overtake Portland for a few days each year, bounding around open fields and even dancing little jigs across freeways, warbling their high-pitched renditions of "Danny Boy" all the way. Sometimes you catch one and get their pot of gold, but we've already got our treasure, starting with our interview with Peter Singer (The Life You Can Save) and signed editions by Abraham Verghese (Cutting for Stone) and Keith Donohue (Angels of Destruction). We love Lucky Charms, but we'll trade those fun marshmallow shapes for original essays by Tim Davys (Amberville), Christopher Benfey (A Summer of Hummingbirds), Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson (The Face on Your Plate), and Matthue Roth (Candy in Action), plus a Powell's Q&A by Lev Yilmaz (Sunny Side Down), blue clovers, and green diamonds. And we leave you with guest bloggers Zo Heller and Robert Sullivan river-dancing the little green-suited scamps right into our nets...
