Help Celebrate our 30th Anniversary! Cascadia Poetics LAB is getting ready to celebrate our 30th Anniversary on February 2, 2024! This event will feature the official launch of Cascadian Prophets (Interviews 1999-2023), by Paul E Nelson, with Editor Sharon Thesen....
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!
In the interview, Gutiérrez y Muhs discusses her journey from child farmworker to a professor with multiple degrees from multiple institutions, including Stanford University and Occidental College, and explains the values she learned from her working class background that she was able to incorporate later into academia. She also mentions her role as the 2018-2020 Theiline Pigott McCone Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Seattle University and her role as editor for Presumed Incompetent, both positions allowing her to focus on uplifting Chicanx and Latinx voices and highlight experiences of unequal treatment for POC, queer and working class people in academia.
Am out of town then and can’t come but these Red Sky Redux events always make me smile and I’d be there if I could.

Kudos to Splab, Red Sky,Raven and all for having modern jazz in a poetry gig: takes me back to the 1960’s in North Beach, San Francisco, CA -JAZZ and POETRY days!
Jose, I hope you’ll attend and read.
I plan on attending. It’s been a long time since I’ve been at a Red Sky event and I have missed it. By the way, Great Poster! See you all then.
Be sure to say hello.
I will. Hope to see you soon as well.
