From Alex Bleecker:

yes, this means we’ll be marrying off minors, so if you’ve got one of your own that you’d like to get rid of, bring some dowry money and we’ll take it from there.  it also means we’ll be featuring some of the most talented performers under 20 years old in the seattle area!  this should be one of our biggest, youngest breadlines yet, so come early & come often, especially if you want a seat / spot on the open mic, which we anticipate will be full by 7:30.  see you in it!

featuring:
youth speaks poets
gibson collins & troy osaki (spoken word)
the rue (music)
britta johnson (video)
+ open mic

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea. But the poem is also a meditation on what’s happening on the island and on the planet we share in what’s been described as devastating imagery. I would add that it’s a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
Robert Bringhurst is the author. Trained initially in the sciences at MIT, he makes his life in the humanities from his home on Quadra Island, where he’s worked in poetry, Native American linguistics and typography. An officer of the Order of Canada, former Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. He’s our guest today to talk about The Ridge. Robert, thanks for your time and hospitality.
