Lit Fuse in the Mighty Tieton 10.8 – 10.10.10

August 8, 2010
by Ryukan

I am passing along this note from Michael Schein, about the literary festival he coordinates in Tieton, Washingon, in the hills just west of Yakima.Your wily Splabman will be conducting a couple of workshops and reading from A Time Before Slaughter. The small town DOES become a rich cultural environment during this event and it’s a chance for poets West of the Cascades to re-connect with those EAST of the curtain:

Can you envision yourself in a PoeTown, fruit orchards, ocher hills roiling, art hung in cavernous rooms, moon like a baboon’s bottom?

Come to LiTFUSE, the Northwest’s premier poets’ workshop; register for only $50 this month, plus $75 by the end of September.  Date: 10.8-10.10. Place: Tieton, near Yakima.  Free home-stays available.  Please CLICK HERE to register or for more info.

Warning: may cause visions, 3am gorging on substances not recognizable as food, insight into human predicament.

Part of the Cascadia 2050 mission is: to inspire artists and poets of the next generation to consider bioregionalism and intuitive poetic approach as a way to foster a more just and sustainable Cascadia by 2050. To this end, one of our goals is to interview people who help us spread awareness by having practices in their lives that reflect these values. This interview with Postcard Poet Laura Gamache, a Seattle who has published poetry in the usual places, such as chapbooks, journals and anthologies, and also unusual places, such as buses, is the first of the series.
