Mill Creek, Edmunds area
From Eileen Duncan:
North King County/South Snohomish poets are looking for new members for our poetry group. We are poets who write seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously, and want to hear and be heard, provide and receive honest and compassionate feedback, and hone poems for publication as well as for art. Timing would be once or twice a month, M, T, or W evenings. For more information, please contact Mike Johnsen or Eileen Duncan.
We need to learn from Fujitaro and see the gardens that can grow from our wastelands, from the Pacific trash heap to the City of Seattle dump to the logged former forestland to the filled in estuaries of rivers like the Duwamish that make the Port of Seattle or Marshlands that make Baltimore’s inner harbor to the sprawl of LA and suburbs around all cities in this country to the merciless businesses of insurance and pharmaceuticals and lobbying and media (social, in particular) and AI and bottled water and so on.
A workshop for poets interested in making the most out of the summer Poetry Postcard Fest and the end of fest daysong, day-long writing ritual,
Writing poetry in a time of crisis, Ukraine, postcards.”War tries to destroy culture because culture sustains identity and memory. Literature is not only a victim of war, it is an instrument of survival, resistance, witnessing – and, sometimes, welcome refuge…”
Dear Mike & Eileen, i might be into this—i am leery of groups in general and am a poor critic of other people’s poetry. i know what i like but seldom know why. how are you selecting members? should i send you something or just show up somewhere w some work? i’m usually attending a reading most mondays, so too wednesday is popular what w Breadline & some other venues. Tuesday evening is probably best for me. Larry.

I’m interested, but the problem is, I’m only in Edmonds every other weekend, and never during the week. I will be moving that way after i graduate, around July. I’ll tell you when i do
