Every step once taken in the first advance of the human race, from the amoeba to the highest type of intelligence, has been duplicated, every step exactly paralleling the one that preceded in the dead ages gone by. A perfect plagiarism results.Everything is and is new. Only the imagination is undeceived.
– William Carlos Williams, from Spring and All, 1923.

What did you do during your summer-of-no-summer vacation? Write any poems? Any postcard poems? Drink cocktails festooned with tiny umbrellas? Pine for heat? Go to China? We want a report and a taste of your latest writing in our growing community of poets. Bring new work, bring the work of someone else or come just to be in the engaging company of other writers. It is our third season in Columbia City and the suggested donation is $5 for Living Room. Paul Nelson is your facilitator and will offer Williams and his idea of the imagination to look at poems in a new way in the wake of the New Directions release of the facsimile edition of Spring & All.

Living Room happens in the new SPLAB in the Cultural Corner of the old Columbia School, between Rainier AV S and 36th AV S, on Edmunds. We’re 2 blocks from the Columbia City Link Light Rail Station. Parking is available on the school grounds.)

Giving Tuesday 2023

Giving Tuesday 2023

Throughout the year, we organize events designed to foster a community of like-minded people centered around organic, open-form poetry, and an ecological philosophy that emphasizes a connection to our bioregion, its history and the indigenous people that lived here long, long before colonization. We aim to expose our supporters to ideas about art as an art-of-living practice, inspired by the spiritual practice of understanding the bioregion surrounding us: soil, air, water, flora, fauna, and weather. In 2023, we hosted a successful Poetry Postcard Fest and the 7th Cascadia Poetry Festival, along with launching Watershed Press and publishing our anthology Cascadian Zen Vol. I. This is all thanks to donations from people like you!
